I think we would have issues selling an athletes village that houses 18,000 people today, perhaps not in the future, but I don't think building the sports venues will be a problem if we keep it to the basics by building only what we need and building temporary structures/venues whenever we can and using what we already have to the fullest extent instead of going the Athens route of going new and permanent for everything.

A new media centre could be used for post-secondary...afterall, don't a lot of us want to see a city university near Downtown?


Oh...and with regards to accommodations, the IOC today requires host regions to have a MINIMUM of 42,000 hotel rooms. We have 22,000 in the Vancouver region...in comparison, the IOC requirement for the Winter Games is 23,000 rooms.
