i haven't followed that aspect to it. I wonder how the chinese press have been covering it and if they for the most part vote as a block yay or nay. I am out the door now - I hear the turnout has been better so far then the recent civic election. Makes sense - more at stake for the city and our economy.
I am generally in favour of the games but am scared that there will be all sorts of backroom deals for construction...projects that will lead to cost over runs and manipulation and money going for things that would better be spent on real immediate needs like healthcare...and most of all I think that there will be such an imbalanced and disproprtionate benefit for property owners and a few others so the benefits won't be universal for all...but there are so many potential pluses on the other hand as well...so - I have a lot of thinking to do while i walk over.
