You thought Grossinger’s in the Catskills was a travesty?
There are one year old apartment building complexes that are vacant. Stadiums abandoned. Parks closed to the public.
Why fight for the Olympics to come to your country to squander all that money and not repurpose the infrastructure?
ht/all too much
Crooked politician payoffs? Hello?

Olympic sized locusts.
Looks like the organizers took the money and ran.
At least Chernobyl was caused by an accident.
I bet All the pools are a really weird green color now.
Olympics suck. IOC should be shot.
I was in Japan, then traveled to see the Asian games in Korea. Later, I found out HUGE money was spent to build complexes over 10 years, social programs were CUT, land is of premium value but stadiums were built anyway, and now the structures are virtually useless.
Politicians said that the cost of showcasing Korea to investors and the world was worth every penny.
