I think about leftover infrastructure being culturally material in Calgary from the 88 Olympics... or Montréal from Expo.

It's cool shit. Just because your can't measure Cultural value doesn't mean it has no value.

Especially confusing when someone takes some strict dollars-and-cents utilitarianist attitude towards Cultural infrastructure but then shits all over soviet block housing.
