I do believe he has more than just the betterment of uptown on his mind, given that he lives in a single-storey townhouse metres from the proposed development.
You can find his presentation on (really, against) the LRT (from 2011) here:
http://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/region...1-0531.pdf
Some sampling of words from his presentation: so-called, premature, staggering, fiasco, albatross, not reasonable, threat, gurus, unbelievable, rub salt in wounds, incomprehensible, absurd.
So I can't say that I'm surprised he's now railing against this project.
Now that is a great contextualization of this man's motives.
