I see a lot of talk of 'once in a lifetime opportunity', but this occurs every four years... I voted no, not because i am against the Olympics, but i think that the costs haven't been clearly figured out and there's a high chance, IMO, that the costs people are basing their votes on are incorrect.

Yes but I would almost guarantee that if Bidco came out on Jan 1, 2020 and said "we are putting our bid in for 2030" several who are No right now, would bring up the exact same arguments to say No again.
And then there would have to be a bigger spend to upgrade facilities + fight possibly stronger bids from other cities.
