What values do you use for these Items to make up the 2.4 billion in shortfall. I did the same and came to the conclusion that the above costs somewhere in the 1.5 billion dollar range and the Olympic bids 2.4 billion didn't include a new arena. So the Olympic number is more like 2.7.
To it appears that hosting the Olympics is paying 1 - 1.5 billion dollars more for infrastructure than we need too.
