The problem with all that you listed is its all spent in london. What has been built and so forth will not be permanent, and there is football clubs currently fighting over the olympic stadium.
All spent in a corner of London that happens to be just about the most deprived district of anywhere in the entire UK. While I'm the first to shout that infrastructure spending elsewhere in the UK needs to keep up with London, the capital city does have its own legitimate social issues. And the Olympic Games can only be held where the IOC agrees to hold them. Manchester tried, and failed.
