We often talk about overruns without looking at why they happened.
Just look at the locations. 3rd world or eastern block. Do you think Putin worked with a budget to show the world how great Russia is? How about China and Brasil? They used the Olympics as propaganda tools.
Calgary doesn't have to prove anything to the world. Just like Vancouver did not. And incidentally they did well financing their games.
Food for thought.

Maybe we should just lump all City projects into one big bucket and assume that cost overruns are going to be $100 billion on EVERYTHING!
