I don't know, when the costs start inflating to four times the initial estimate I think something is being wasted somewhere along the line, especially when dealing with billions of dollars. And that's not a London-exclusive issue either... did you see the numbers on VANOC I posted?
I have a hard time believing that Calgary's estimated budget would not skyrocket. There
is precedent here, damn it, and Calgary's starting at a way higher ledge to fall off.
