Every city and country just has a different reason for wanting to host the [Olympic] games.

If the Russian government continues to pump money into it and makes their national teams train in Sochi and just sort of prop it up as a point of pride, then perhaps. But I don't think anybody living there was begging for multiple 40,000-seat venues to be plopped down in the city.

Beijing is an example of [families were displaced for the Olympics]. Something like 10,000 families were moved out.

We were talking to shop owners or ordinary people who were living in these buildings now. A lot of the Olympic Villages were turned into housing.

In some bigger cities, I don't think people really realize these structures were built for the Olympics.
