Hopefully the media coverage will generate an immediate boost for B.C.s tourism industry.
My guess is that there will be a crack down on the street scene leading up to and during the Olympics. Such a major event such as this one will likely attract alot of out of town SPs. Hopefully prices don't skyrocket to take advantage of all the rich tourists in town.
Better buy your Vancouver real estate sooner rather than later, uh your Whistler property too, if you are able. Spend money on the mortgage or a SP, decisions, decisons.
