Everybody that says that doesn't live anywhere near it. That area (I live not far ) was a total wasteland beforehand. Ask anybody about the Docklands in the 80's and 90's. Since the Dome that area is now a buzzing area full of businesses , homes and many tax pounds paid into the economy.
If that sort of regeneration happened anywhere other than London people would be proud of it. Also, that year it was the most visited tourist location in Europe. Their problem was only opening it for one year..which was dumbass.
Now, the 02 is only adding to the buzz of that area that less than a decade a go was just swamp.
