@jareds_jones @RebeccaLiebson @yimbystpete @AnthonyClose Hey Jared, thanks for reading. Like Rebecca said, this series focuses on one particular trend affecting the housing market. But the affordability crisis is multifaceted. If you want to talk more about zoning or other aspects, feel free to email either of us!

Floridians are casting their ballots in the wake of two devastating storms. It's been a long time since hurricanes felt so routine. Why has the Gulf Coast been a magnet for so many major hurricanes? The answer isn't so simple. From me and @jack_prator tampabay.com/hurricane/2024…

Recently, my colleagues and I wrote about the devastation from Hurricane Helene. We found that nearly 1 in 10 structures in Pinellas county were susceptible to 6 or more feet of flooding — incredibly damaging levels of surge. Milton could be worse. tampabay.com/hurricane/2024…

Hurricane Helene caused the highest storm surge on record in Tampa Bay – the worst storm in a century. Milton may now have 10-15 feet of surge – potentially double what we saw two weeks ago. This could mean "unthinkable destruction." tampabay.com/hurricane/2024… via @TB_Times

Look at the tiny difference in track between last night and this morning, and the enormous difference in projected flooding. It’s going to be so hard to communicate this effectively.

Residents of Pinellas barrier islands are now allowed home. Helene pummelled their slice of heaven. “This can all be replaced,” one resident said. “That’s the way you gotta think about it. Otherwise you’d just sit & cry.” W/ @teghan_simonton @LuisSantana tampabay.com/hurricane/2024…

In Florida, jails are over capacity as hundreds of people sleep on floor beds. Some are held for months on non-violent misdemeanor charges. Public officials point to a recent bail reform law and wonder if it needs to be changed @TB_Times tampabay.com/news/pinellas/…

NEW: Both Duke + TECO are seeking to raise rates next year, and want rates of shareholder profit higher than the national average. In 7 hearings, Floridians asked regulators to say no. Many said their families' finances already teeter on a perilous edge. tampabay.com/news/business/…

A lot of support for the stadium deal yesterday, but still some concern over finer details like sustainability. And some on council disagree that the Gas Plant redevelopment needs a stadium at all. Catch up before tonight's council meeting: tampabay.com/news/st-peters… via @TB_Times

My first vacation of the year starts tomorrow, so I won’t be covering the St. Petersburg City Council’s Rays stadium workshop or 1st votes on the stadium/HGPD project. But I did write a preview! Follow my talented colleague @teghan_simonton for coverage tampabay.com/news/st-peters…
