Armed with a knowledge of the city code, this resident is taking direct action against illegal short-term rentals and the investors who are fueling the housing affordability crisis in St. Pete. 🫡 We salute you, Marley! @marcatmanor tampabay.com/news/st-peters…
Marley Price's boyfriend likes to play video games She prefers to find potentially illegal short term rentals in St. Petersburg & report them to code enforcement Since Feb, she's filed 108 complaints. 88 were in violation. Her tweet about it went viral tampabay.com/news/st-peters…
Officers Sarah Gaddis & Michael Thacker of the @StPetePD must be fired & arrested for their roles in paralyzing Heriberto Sanchez-Mayan. @MayorKenWelch needs to work on solving the housing crisis instead of covering up SPPD’s crimes! tampabay.com/news/crime/202…
This is how @StPetePD treats our homeless neighbors. @MayorKenWelch & @StPetePDChief — fire Officers Sarah Gaddis & Michael Thacker NOW! tampabay.com/news/crime/202…
See that teeny, tiny sliver of 1%? That’s the % of middle income renters that are severely rent burdened. Keep this in mind when policymakers and lobbyists spend outsized time talking about rental housing needs for middle income people. #TheGap24
“‘Anytime the city is partnering with private entities, you know, it's totally inefficient.’ Kilgore [organizer with the SPTU] continues to push for the city to build and own affordable housing options.” abcactionnews.com/news/region-pi…
We lost hundreds of Black households in the 1980s to build the Trop. We’re currently losing working-class households of all backgrounds due to unbridled gentrification. The Rays & their big business buddies can get lost on down to hell for all we care!

Just under 20k people showed up to the Trop last year for a @RaysBaseball playoff game.... the smallest crowd at an MLB playoff since the 1919 World Series. Does a billion+ taxpayer investment in a new stadium at the same location make sense? youtube.com/shorts/PSNg9IX…
“Friday’s luncheon at Tropicana Field helped dispel oft-repeated refrains that the public-private partnership…has shunned public transparency.” Ah yes, Rays & city officials speaking at a private, $40 ticket event definitely eases these concerns… 🤡 stpetecatalyst.com/rays-developme…
We’re not fans of big parking lots either. We’re also not fans of giving away massive public subsidies to rich sports franchises & developers while tens of thousands of residents struggle to afford rent & other basic needs here in St. Pete!

@stpetecatalyst In light of known struggles of so many @StPeteFL residents struggling just 'to keep the lights on' in an inflationary economy and limited affordable housing, it seems incredulous to approve a $1.6 BILLION taxpayer giveaway to @RaysBaseball @Hines for @HistGasPlantSTP development.
Officers Sarah Gaddis & Michael Thacker of the @StPetePD must be fired & arrested for their roles in paralyzing Heriberto Sanchez-Mayan. @MayorKenWelch needs to work on solving the housing crisis instead of covering up SPPD’s crimes! tampabay.com/news/crime/202…
The EDC’s new president and CEO: “St. Petersburg would lose the MLB franchise that our public & private partners worked decades to get, and we will not get one back.” The Rays sponsored this meeting and goodie bags for attendees.
Just under 20k people showed up to the Trop last year for a @RaysBaseball playoff game.... the smallest crowd at an MLB playoff since the 1919 World Series. Does a billion+ taxpayer investment in a new stadium at the same location make sense? youtube.com/shorts/PSNg9IX…
Is the Gas Plant redevelopment's benefits package enough? No! @Colleen_Wright @TBBJnewsroom @stpetecatalyst @StPeteRising @AnthonyClose @SPTenantsU @LWVSPA @abcactionnews nohomerun.com/post/is-the-ga…
Tenants speaking up about issues and organizing with their neighbors are not “causing trouble”. The real trouble-makers are the millionaire landlords who force families to live in conditions they themselves would never accept ‼️
Capitalists and their politicians want us working from 8 years old until whenever we die. Because that's where their wealth comes from. Our labor. The idea of "retirement" is an affront to their bottom line.
Nikki Haley has said 65 Is 'way too low' for retirement age, per Bloomberg.
Activists @FaithFlorida and @cjpmiami and St. Petersburg, Florida residents are rallying against a plan to build a stadium where a Black neighborhood once lay, saying the plan fails to address the racial inequities of the past and harms Black residents. bit.ly/3UIxNRx

Feeding at the trough ... how much $$$ do the owners of @RaysBaseball need? It's disgusting the way they are gouging the public while so many are suffering poverty and cannot afford housing in @StPeteFL #greed #richgetricher
The CBA was intended to safeguard public wealth and ensure that projects funded with public money provide maximum tangible benefits to the community. Allowing for the representation of business leagues on the CBA council is antithetical to this aim.
The Rays Hines @RaysBaseball @HistGasPlantSTP plan could dramatically change the lives of an entire @StPeteFL community. Tomorrow, Jan. 30th listen/learn/speak at the community benefits meeting. You can make a difference whether City Council decides to vote YES or vote NO.…
The Rays Hines plan will impact the @StPeteFL @HistGasPlantSTP community for decades to come. Not only a $2.4 billion taxpayer drain but quality of life. This is not a done deal until it's voted on in April. Make your voice count now. Come to City Hall @ 5:30 tonight.
.@MayorKenWelch is lucky that actual working people couldn’t make it to the State of the City address because the Gas Plant rip off deal isn’t something to be proud of. Attend the CBAC meeting tn @ 5:30 PM at City Hall to demand a “NO” recommendation of this corporate handout!
Just learned that the formerly-free SunRunner has doubled down on its anti-poor policies by not only instituting a fare but by rejecting cash payments as well. Why are we like this?

On to the Rays stadium straw poll discussion. Chair Brandi Gabbard said a supermajority vote is required to schedule the meeting to talk about it. All 8 members are present, 6 votes are needed Floyd reiterates the vote today is just to talk about it, not put it on the ballot
Will add more details shortly. St. Petersburg City Council rejects exploring straw poll on Rays deal tampabay.com/news/st-peters…
CM’s Gabbard, Montanari & Gerdes successfully blocked a new business item to simply *discuss* the *possibility* of polling voters on a $700M public subsidy for a new baseball stadium! This is what “democracy” looks like in @StPeteFL — rigged for developers & big corporations!
