"In the mid-1980s suburban neighborhoods were the place to be, and the city fashioned a zoning system to fit the times, West Tampa businessman Jason Busto says."

"Today that system is out of step with older, urban neighborhoods rebounding from years of neglect, Busto told the Business Guild of Seminole Heights. The goal for neighborhood and business organizations is to persuade city planners to support development that brings residents back to the inner city"

"Busto, whose family owns a plumbing business, said Seminole Heights and West Tampa share interests, including improving bus service "so you don't have to rely on cars." Both communities, he said, should work together on ideas for better service from HARTline, the agency that operates the city's buses."

We should be pushing these issues with all city and county political candidates.
