Corroborates the story completely. 400% budget increase. If this were applied to Calgary, that would be in the "tens of billions" after all.
Haha, holy ####.

The revised budget is nearly four times the £2.4bn estimate when London's bid succeeded less than two years ago.

Construction is now budgeted at £5.3bn, there is a £2.7bn "contingency fund", and tax and security costs have risen.
