There is probably an argument to be made that the City/municipality sees a net benefit vs. their cost.
For instance, large portions of the cost are picked up by the Province and Feds, so the City of Calgary would get a (example) 5 billion dollar infrastructure boost, while it only pays (example) 1.5-2 billion.
The city (to a lesser extent the city's coffers) would then benefit the most from the olympics without paying for it (Edmonton is paying, Ottawa is paying, we aren't)
There are so many issues with that way of thinking though.
