I also don’t think 800 million is the high end. The estimate is likely +\- 30% with 20% contingency. The city is contributing around 500 million. They cut 125 million from security when facing losing the bid so I assume that gets added back in. 200 million of the 1 billion contingency is planned to be funded with an insurance product that may or may not exist. So I think you need to add a 10% overage to the current budget, the 125 million back in and the 180 million in contingency. So I believe the realistic spend by the city, or at least the amount we are prepared to spend 50% of the time is 1.3 Billion.

And if people are so hung up on the end number vs realistic monthly adjustments, urban sprawl in this city costs your house 2-3 times more than the Olympics would.
