$2,057.43/Calgary household… No cost overruns

$5,810.07/Calgary household… 65 per cent cost overruns (same as Calgary 1988)

$10,967.96/Calgary household… 142 per cent cost overruns (average for winter Olympics)

The $10k cost per Calgary household (likely scenario) - is that the total cost spread out over x years related to all the tax increases, or just the first year after the Olympics?

Can the average Calgary household actually afford that?
