I think that's because the settings in St. Clair is closely resemble the one on Broadway, with similar density, road width, size of city block, etc. MLK way in Seattle feel very suburban even compared to the potential King George LRT. The one in Houston and Phoenix is probably similar.

St. Clair is essentially a LRT in term of protected ROW and stations. The only things it lacks are speed and signal priority, but obviously that's not something you can see from a picture.
