He basically singlehandedly torpedoed the monorail, so he can rot for all I care.
- The expansion of it?
  
  Yeah; the plans were all but finalized, and a bunch of property purchased, but he didn't want the poors riding the new monorail through his high-rises' "sunlight" (aka line of sight) so he blocked it at a couple key places in downtown. I didn't recall if it was litigation or what, but he basically forced the project to scramble for a new route, which drove up costs and iirc required a redesign. It fell apart after that.
