Then, you have upgrades / new facilities for the following:
MacMahon Stadium, Olympic Oval, BMO Centre, Big 4 Centre, Saddledome, WinSport Sliding Track, WinSport Ski Hill, Nakiska, Canmore Nordic Centre, Curling Centre, and a new fieldhouse complex and community arena. Then you have affordable housing projects, subsidized seniors housing, indigenous peoples housing, student housing, and the conversion of the Athlete's Village to permanent units (thought to be in the Rivers District if I recall correctly).
That doesn't include Whistler Olympic Park because we don't care about BC in this context.

There is no proposal for a new arena now. Until there is you can't include it in your calculus because it's imaginary.
Just again, when people think "massive infrastructure" they think roads, public transport, major projects. Not piecemeal upgrades to half century old buildings that already exist and some affordable housing. On top of all of that, the city could build all of those things and then some for a fraction of the 1B Olympic contribution.
