I agree that those projects are needed right now.
But just because I need something right now doesn't mean I'm willing to pay such a high premium for them.

I wasn't saying you specifically were selfish for wanting the games, I just think saying an Olympic bid is the only and/or best way to get those projects done is pretty short sighted.
