So basically you are criticizing them for:
1) Standing firm to get a good deal for the region, and
2) Thinking ahead and having a vision rather than not having transit hub at all or having to over-pay a developer to get the land or access later to build the transit hub.
The signs that Kitchener was starting to move in the right direction were already there at the time of the purchases (e.g school of pharmacy).
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
