Well, actually, Gus, "world class city" is not quite the same as "employer of choice". The wish to be a "World class city" expresses the adolescent need for peer approval, the need for self-validation derived only from the opinion of others. Only immature, insecure individuals require it. That does not mean that the bureacrats and politicians promoting the various agrandizing schemes are that naive - for the most part they sucker the taxpayers to finance their bureacratic empire building. I firmly believe that all members of the governing board of every organization advocating for government "loans" to finance Commonwealth Games, Olympic Games or any other project, should be required by law to personally guarantee any cost overuns of the project. All the huksters of the " world class" mirages would suddenly fade away.
