After condos started getting built, yes, that complaint has been made. And for good reason, too.
But my friend's claim is that affordable housing was part of the official LRT corridor from the beginning and integral to it. Indeed, they always phrase it as it some sort of deal was made—more affordable housing in exchange for getting the LRT.
