St. Petersburg context
Drainage planning has to flex across St. Petersburg's genuinely mixed housing stock -- historic bungalows, masonry postwar neighborhoods, waterfront homes, condo corridors, and dense infill. Low elevation and tidal flooding leave little margin for error, especially combined with heavy rain, salt air, wind-driven moisture, heat, and aging infrastructure.
