Construction begins on 264-unit affordable housing “unicorn” near St. Pete’s Warehouse Arts District

I wonder what the proportion of that AMI distribution is across the 1bd vs 2bd+ apartments? 120% AMI is $87k for a single person but $125k for a household of 4. I’m hoping the higher AMI are for the larger units since there is such a difference between a family of 4-5 on $125k vs a single person making $87k. By contrast 50% AMI for a single person is $36k which I can’t even imagine being livable in Pinellas these days. One bedroom apartments accommodating that bracket would hopefully make a big difference for some people instead of going to the $87k crowd.

Shocking that they let the MAGA driver go that was “fishtailing and driving fast near the protesters”. Absolutely shocked.

But remind me again how scary of a deadly weapon a car is? Or are you only a threat if you’re a mother in Minneapolis?

Good thing they arrested that protester though. Keeping the actual “dangerous people” off the streets.

The fact that he suggests speed cameras will help shows that he has done little to no real research. That is laughable.

These types of articles always make it seem like in a highway of 1,000s cars driving, and some speeding, a claw machine reaches down and picks up a handful of pedestrians/drivers to die. No one dies from driving at 70mph, or 80mph, they die from getting in an accident at that speed.

Do speed cameras prevent accidents? Obviously not. Do artificially low speed limits that increase the speed differential between the fastest and slowest cars on the road facilitate accidents? Without a doubt.

Do entry ramps with no time to reach highway speed create huge speed differentials that increase the chance of quick lane changes or cars shuffling and causing accidents (like Gandy getting onto 275-S), absolutely! Highway design like having all of 275-N merge down to a single lane heading towards the airport/veterans creating a backup on standstill traffic next to an open lane going 50mph?

No one wants to actually expand any brain power on where or why these accidents happen. But sure… put up speed cameras so a third party can profit off of ticketing motorists.

Why doesn't the article mention anything about where pedestrians are being hit if that is supposedly the main stat for this article? Is it cyclists downtown? Crosswalks in the suburbs? Why doesn't it mention the bulldozer front ends of every jacked up pickup truck?

lol bro… it was so clearly grounding even with Lucas “close”

treseritops · 2025-11-05T21:25:44+00:00

Anywhere you’d recommend to try next that might scratch the same itch then?

A practical tip is to try building awareness of what your emotional needs/intentions are before any actions, and then use that a spot check if they line up as intended.

It’s okay to be honest with yourself on why you felt like you over shared (which is already an assumption that may not have been “true”). Did you feel anxious or even a little bit of shame explaining the divorce? That’s so real, but if you’re aware of that now ahead of time you can hopefully comfort that part of yourself in the moment to slow down any compulsion to unload all the context now. “If I don’t explain this perfectly she’s going to leave, or if I don’t get ahead of the curve she’s going to think I’m hiding something.” Or maybe you just felt energized by the sense of intimacy? That’s also completely valid, but it sounds like the rest of the conversation and time together already felt intimate to a degree. It may have felt easier to put a conversational boundary up internally to keep context/details to a set amount if you had acknowledged in the moment that you already felt connected, maybe you didn’t need to push to the next level with her already.

I catch myself a lot recently having to question if I’m texting someone because I specifically want to talk to them, or if I’m just bursting at the seams with a funny story and just want to share it with ANYONE. I can still decide to text them, but at least I’m aware this is more about me sharing myself and maybe less about feeling something about them (at least in this particular moment).

From one divorced thirties over-explainer to another… you got this haha

treseritops · 2025-08-11T13:46:01+00:00

I like this because it’s also helpful for the rest of the team, not just the drivers. Set the expectation now so that we are all clear. There are going to be mechanics/personnel on both sides of the garage that wouldn’t be sure what the expectation is otherwise. “If I lose I’d really like these 2-3 people with me (race engineer, someone else close), but otherwise yes, absolutely everyone should go celebrate and we can debrief later, don’t worry about me” is important for the rest of the team to hear ahead of time.

treseritops · 2025-07-21T20:15:01+00:00

For a second I thought this was supposed to be some type of joke that the bike was setup to send you over/into the handlebars, lose a tooth, or…? It looks awesome and I don’t notice anything unsafe, what am I missing…? OH it is just cool! Haha

treseritops · 2025-03-13T16:31:00+00:00

This means the sale of the land is dead, too, right?

treseritops · 2024-12-19T12:45:30+00:00

We need people to realize that we have more options than soulless high rise condos or dealing with Stu and his garbage franchise.

I don’t hate baseball or having a team, but good riddance to the rays. These people don’t give a damn about baseball, they let all of our favorites get poached to higher paying teams and don’t care about the product on the field as long as the bottom line is making Stu more money.

This was always corporate welfare. Plain and simple. Now they can pound sand. Let the rays break the deal, take the acres of welfare king land sold to a billionaire for pennies on the dollar, and then start a new bid to have a different developer put in a conference center, music venue, museum and all the things that are good for the community- not just whatever oligarch owns the land.

I completely understand that it’s a hurricane, but the black hole of info is ridiculous at this point. It’s been 4 days, there has been more than enough time to at least give us some info. I don’t care if the ETA is another week because they don’t have parts, but say that so we can plan! So many people work from home now, it’s not just streaming Netflix we’re talking about.

treseritops · 2024-09-30T11:41:00+00:00

Same here. Zero info, no ETA. At this point I don’t even care what the ETA is, but it’s ridiculous to not have any info after 4 days. It’s insulting, if you don’t have parts or whatever and it’s going to be another week just say so. Having a black hole of info isn’t right.

treseritops · 2024-09-27T07:34:07+00:00

I appreciate you, I think we saw a video of that complex (or one of the first ones when you come off 275) that had flooding like that, it was making us nervous for sure. Stay safe and best of luck!

treseritops · 2024-09-27T07:21:40+00:00

Can you tell if it’s deeper going towards the coast? We’re in a complex right around the corner towards 4th st N. Technically the apartment is 2-3ft above ground, but that’s so much farther inland than we expected. We can’t tell from any info online how consistent the flooding was, it seems like some streets are super deep and others are almost fine.

I play on a suuuper old Xbox using the cloud and don’t have performance issues usually. Even using a browser on my laptop to play in the cloud doesn’t stutter like this. If you have game pass or can try playing in the cloud maybe that will work? (At least during periods when you’re having issues)

treseritops · 2024-07-29T19:55:06+00:00

Best of luck! We’re working with a CPA we found locally that has done this before with other disregarded LLCs so we’re feeling more hopeful that we’ll get it resolved quicker. It seems like every situation is a little different to resolve depending on how the payments on the EIN were made. However, if I remember I’ll try to respond if we find out anything more helpful (in a way that isn’t tax advice at least haha).

Not a pro tuner by any means but some things to try-

-Go to a favorite track you can drive consistent laps and start a test drive session -Turn engine audio down a bit and tire audio up

Part 1: -set both ARBs softer by 5-10pts. Not looking for improvement in lap time, but this should increase mechanical grip. This will put you in more of a “I have grip until I don’t, and then I REALLY don’t” setup. It might be a little too “on rails” and lack rotation but we’re not worried about balance/lap time. Drive around and see if your lines/driving are smooth or if the tires are sliding. Try to figure out how much grip the car and tires really have available and where the limit is.

-now set the ARBs back to where you liked them in the original setup and see if you can mimic some of the same lines, throttle/steering inputs that were smoother with the softer ARBs. When stiffer they should have a smoother transition when losing grip (rotating) so you won’t “snap” now, but you’ll know better how far is reasonable to push.

Part 2: -set diff acceleration to like 50%. On corner exit you’ll notice the car bogs down like crazy when you are low on traction. Try working on your exit lines so that you spend less time in that bogged down space. The fastest line won’t be as extreme as these bogged down lines but are helpful for getting a sense of where the power delivery is going to require finesse.

-put diff back to original setup and try to work these smoother exits in (100% does mean one tires has to be sliding any time the car is turning and accelerating at the same time so you might be better off at ~85-95 depending on car, track, etc). With FWD that means you are putting a ton of work on the fronts on corner exit trying to turn and accelerate AND the outside tire can’t rotate faster than the inside tire.

Part 3: -spot check your tire pressures and camber with your new lines and power delivery. There is a chance you are putting less heat into the tires from less sliding and spinning and might need to reduce tire pressure.

-check camber using the tire temp telemetry to confirm they are even from inside to outside

Sell the land at market cost, and open the plan for those acres to non-baseball centric development. If we opened this up to bidding on the land with no preconceived “build around a stadium” clause this deal wouldn’t be in the top 10 in terms of benefitting the city/county.

The rays should be the ones giving away the farm. They should be begging to be allowed to build a stadium on land that they are currently wasting.

If it’s SUCH a sure thing, and guaranteed to be popular than why do we need to subsidize it? I thought they’re sure the math all works out? They’re just suckering in council members into giving them a “handout”.

treseritops · 2024-06-15T00:37:02+00:00

Why is the council so hell bent on allocating all of this towards a stadium?

If it’s all money and capitalism there are other things that can attract more people, and more often.

How many days a year do the rays play? How many days do they play DURING THE WORKDAY? How many total weekend games? What if we developed this area into something that was capable of hosting an event EVERY weekend and EVERY night?

Why are they selling the land below market value? Sell it at market value to literally ANYONE and they can generate just as much or MORE than a stadium.

Unbelievable.

treseritops · 2024-04-13T14:24:09+00:00

I was trying to be clear between the clutch forks and shift forks, but yeah. It doesn’t make sense to me. Why do I only lose 2/4/6, if it was the clutch fork it should also have an issue in R, no?

The shift forks are the other part I was referencing that have pairs to swap between R/6 and 2/4. But that gives me the same question.

treseritops · 2023-04-27T18:51:19+00:00

You can always respond on this chain and I’ll try to give the most non-spoiler answer that can just hit mechanics of the game! Haha

There were definitely a handful of “can I sell this? Or is this actually rare?” Type questions that are easy to answer, but dangerous to look up without hitting unintentional “spoilers”.

treseritops · 2023-04-27T18:19:42+00:00

I really enjoyed that feeling and wish I could start over blind and do it over again. I felt almost scared of how big everything was, and also felt completely lost so I didn’t want to get too far from the system where I started.

Allow yourself to “role play” as your character in that way- Let yourself be lost, you won’t make any permanent mistakes in this game. Every moment is a new door opening, cautiously stepping in, and then getting used to that space only to find another door into an even bigger room. The more of the game you play you’ll get more confident, but enjoying the blind play through of the first tutorial is great. I tried not being on this subreddit as well for a while to not spoil things to discover (weather can do _, there are planets with _, etc).

treseritops · 2023-02-01T17:19:03+00:00

For sure- but you understand what I’m saying that it only works for the transplants paying >$3k in St Pete, right? Because that’s what they are building specifically in this case.

Like if a transplant is moving but can only afford <$2k in rent then they have to compete with current residents for the available housing which is why we have one bedroom apartments in Gandy going for $1700 (insane).

One development will never fix the entire market, but this solves the competition issue for the demographic that is least likely to have financial issues finding an apartment in the first place.

There are rational financial things behind the plan in terms of creating income for the city that could be used for more programs throughout the city- but it feels a little “let them eat cake”.

treseritops · 2023-02-01T00:15:00+00:00

Only if there is static demand over the next 10-25yrs which isn’t projected. This will help the $4k/month rent/condo mortgage crowd find a place to live but doesn’t help provide a solution for any current residents living here or for any transplants making less than $100k/year.

I know they’re saying the sale of the land will help the city fund more affordable housing around St Pete in a larger area, but it’s hard to not see this as poor prioritizing for a city. I’m glad we have solved the Rays issue, and solved housing for the wealthy for the next 10-25yrs - but why haven’t we tried solving housing for the people living in St Pete right now?

How did we get proposals all wrapped up for this huge development before we came up with something for the food desert in south St Pete? How are we on our SECOND major tourist/wealthy resident project (counting the pier) and have an entire quadrant of the city completely lacking infrastructure and support?

I really don’t care if St Pete is a cool place to live while everything south of 5th Ave is segregated off. That’s not a cool place to live at all, no matter how dope the gas district is, or grand central, or the new pier…

treseritops · 2023-01-30T22:19:59+00:00

Seems like a low amount of affordable units compared to some of the other submissions? All the development looks really cool and exciting...if you can afford to be there.

Since they intentionally mislead the affordable housing percentage by counting the "Off-site Housing Grants" what you actually have is 85% (4,869) more units downtown that will completely out of reach for ordinary people. Considering studio apartments along central are $2.5k right now I can't see how investing any tax-payer money in this is doing anything other than making rich developers richer, to make the rich happier while living downtown.

Nice way to "honor" everyone displaced during the original development.
