At all
I don't think he is genuine (relatively given we are on a politician scale after all) and if the popular vote was on the other side, he would of flipped.
The arena deal was an "Nenshi Success" (even if in the end it really wasn't his), Farkas needed to be on the other side of that come hell or high water.
Now, could he be 100% straight on this particular issue? Sure, but its own past actions that have made me, and other voters, feel that he is lying out his butt.

His core supporters are older suburbanites who want to keep their property taxes low. That’s a cohort that I’d wager doesn’t want public money spent on an arena. So I don’t see anything inconsistent about Farkas’ stance on this.
