Maybe they think the spillover benefits from the games will give the city some money to help those that are struggling? I don't know.

I don't think so, but you can call me a pessimist.
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.
