They now are projected to cost $25 billion. https://globalnews.ca/news/4531547/t...osts-increase/
The IOC is dangerous and we cannot allow ourselves to affiliate with them. This isn't a one-off, either -- costs at Rio and Sochi ballooned way out of proportion. |
I think the question is why are these games going over budget? Is it unique to each host city? That just sounds like poor planning. Tokyo apparently neglected to include the Paralympic portion of the games somehow. People point to cost overruns, buy I don’t see any huge reasons why ours would have. Unless somehow during construction we found an ancient Viking burial ground and had to move an entire venue or something. It boggles my mind how it could ever get to where something could cost the city a fortune in unexpected costs.
