There isn't an appetite with the current municipal/provincial governments to entertain bidding on the games. Reality is all the venues are still around with the exception of the Richmond Oval which was converted. No clue the amount of work that would be needed to convert that back, or perhaps it could get built at SFU as originally planned and serviced by the gondola. Would certainly get fed money rolling to build the skytrain all the way to UBC. The biggest hurdle would be the athletics village. Quick and dirty would be parking 3 cruise ships at Canada Place and you're done. In the meantime best to keep dreaming.
