money down the drain?

The London Olympic Games are going to cost loads more than originally though, the sum of £9 billion being quoted and rising. I want to know who is going to benefit from this money? This sort of investment would be a major boost to the NHS and imagine what this sort of money could achieve if put into healthcare research. After it's over all that will be left is a massive area of sports facilities in London which will be of no use to the rest of the UK. All this talk of concern about the environment is rubbish because building the Olympic village will have been achieved at significant environmenal cost both in terms of the materials used, the impact of transporting those materials and the resultant travel required to host the event. Food for thought. In the long run it will be interesting to see if the land being used will be sold off for domestic housing because of the lack of demand for a big sports complex. Will this be a repetition of the poor planning evidenced in the situation with the Millenium Dome?
