Los Angeles actually did great hosting the Olympics in 1984. They scared the crap out of their people, and it wound up that they had no traffic jams and no smog (everything essentially shut down), and relatively few outside visitors (they too were scared to visit). They used mostly existing venues, and the locals snapped up the tickets. And they let a non-Democrat white guy run the show (won’t happen again, I’m sure).
Wound up making billions of dollars. But I agree with others...it won’t happen again, not there, no way.
That is true, BobL. But LA in 1984 had far stronger leadership than it does now, and its infrastructure was not in nearly so terrible shape as it is now.
