Nothing new, has been that way for years. A site spend a lot of cash for excess facilities, security, supply chain and "promotional expenses" (read committee kickback graft etc) During the Olympics the host at best breaks even only to be left with very high maintenance costs on overbuilt facilities. Look back at past sites. The local economy cannot keep up and maintain the new stuff so they erode.
Well said, J149. Was going to say the thread title was misleading, no need to mention Paris, the rest of the title still holds true.
I'll be in Paris late next month. Maybe i can get a good deal on all those surplus Olympic t shirts that will most likely be available.

... nothing more relaxing than doing a few laps across the Seine River to start the day in Paris. Enjoy

Or you can just gear for the upcoming LA Olympics that go on sale periodically.
