This site, click title for link, shares pictures of former Olympic sites, both summer and winter varieties, in various states of decay. Sochi represents the spending of over $51 billion which is more than any other of the other venue's expenditures combined. Many people were displaced to make way for special event locations/structures. Patriotism seems to carry the day now that the games have started. But, collectively, they represent the world's ease at being a "throw away" society.
