I certainly don't want it, although I am hoping there will be significant improvements to public transport and active transport infrastructure because of it. Wishful thinking I know.

Did they ever release the final costings for the Gold Coast Comm Games? I reckon they lost money on it, and as someone involved at the time ferrying people around the GC during the Games, the place was dead. It didn't bring the tourist dollars it was supposed to.
