Obviously there are some costs that are just for the event, but there are also projects that are built that aren't directly related. I think that for the '88 games things such as the C-train have had lasting impact on the city. Then you have the more obvious athletic use facilities. Not everything is spent just on those two weeks, and the impacts can be much longer lasting in a positive way.
The C-Train was not a result of the Olympics. It was in use before the games were even awarded.
