I think it's reasonable to have been against the Olympic bid but for this. I didn't support the Olympic bid because of the history of IOC corruption, almost inevitable meteoric cost overruns, and the continuing impact of a ten-day event versus an infrastructure project with a 40-year life span.

(And yes, I understand that the Olympics would have shepherded a whole host of similar infrastructure, but the games themselves come at a substantial cost.)
