I bet, one of the main reasons why councilors like Collins and Whitehead are really against LRT is that, they have realized that the societal switch which is occurring away from the dominance of traditional suburban neighborhoods to more urban neighborhoods or urban like neighborhoods, means a steady degrading of their traditional political power basem as well.

Yes, this. Collins, Whitehead, et al don't oppose LRT because they don't think it will live up to its promise of economic uplift, they're afraid it will and their anti-urban politics of resentment won't work anymore.
