Are you worried at all that the cheapness of the games will reflect poorly on the host city?
some people seem to almost think that a bit of paint and sprucing up of the 1988 infrastructure will go a long way.
If you're going to host the games, don't do it halfway. present your best image to the world or don't do it at all.
Come on Calgary. you're dressing up for a hot date with the world. don't show up in sweatpants and a stained undershirt.
spend the money. build fancy new stuff.

This is true. You don't want to half ass this stuff. You gotta go full ass.
Just as long as the cost for the ass is reasonable, and we continue to make use of it after the game. It doesn't make sense to spend $5B for it, if it can be done for $3B and yield the essentially the same results.
