How is that not a good result for the citizens of Vancouver? They got a ton of development out of it that otherwise would have likely taken years, if not decades longer had they not hosted the Games.
Yeah that's for sure one way to look at it. But why can't we build those projects without the risk of an Olympics and without the extra goodies we already have? When your convention center is almost 50% over budget, you're not getting a great deal. The Sea to Sky is also likely very much over the original 500 million construction estimate.
