If you really want to know (rather than pick a fight), look at the
information readily available online.
Why should it be necessary to do online research? According to the
Olympics propagandists, there is so much regeneration that it should be
evident to local residents. It isn't evident and that is why we are
sceptical. Certainly we see money being wasted on nonsense such as
pavements in good order being replaced but we East Londoners are not
silly enough to regard that as regeneration.
Let those who assert that regeneration is taking place provide examples,
and we will give an opinion.
By the way, the purpose of a forum such as this to exchange ideas,
information and opinions. If someone asks a question, they are not
necessarily looking for a fight.
There's a cynical tone to your questions which implies you want to pick
a fight with the Olympic project, if nothing else.

I am cynical about the UK Olympics, as are most sensible people.
Asking "What local regeneration?" can not reasonably be interpreted as looking for a fight either with members of this forum or, now that you are repositioning yourself, with the "Olympic project."
