The Olympics are generally bad for the local economy. Most cities are left with tens of millions in debt. Wasn't Barcelona 92 the last Summer Olympics that made money for the city?
This will never happen here. It is too controversial for our NIMBY, ultra conservative, population that is outraged over LRT, Loop 202 alignment, buildings over 3 stories, etc. We would never build the infrastructure required to host the games.
