In some instances, it's going to push neighborhoods out and into other neighborhoods (when they build the various stadiums/housing for athletes/etc.) and that's going to cause more problems.
This is just my opinion, but these low income neighborhoods aren't going to be lifted up, they're going to be moved over, and then the city will ignore the same people, just in a different geographical area.

I won't call you a pessiment, because it's likely going to be the case.
All of the development will probably lead to (more) gentrification in the city, pushing the lower-class citizens farther out. I'm willing to bet money, though, that city leaders will use the argument to bring the games to the city.
