When all the wonderful World Cup stadiums were first proposed, those of us with a little business acumen and common sense warned that they would become white elephants ("Stadiums not suitable for low-cost housing", July 3). But we were all shot down as being negative and unpatriotic.
.Now, just like the Athens Olympic village came back to bite the Greeks, the stadiums have come back to bite our city councils. What a ridiculous suggestion to put forward that a purpose-built stadium can be turned into low-cost housing.
