Isn't every Olypics a drain/strain on the host city? It's like a commitee announcing which city will be burdened 7 years hence.
We'll host in Los Angeles again, just so long as someone figures out where Uberoth hid the business plan. I enjoy several of the Olympic venues, participated in the 84 games, and would love to do it all again.
The LAOOC continues to have a profit and it sponsors or donates to many organizations throughout the Los Angeles area.
I'm sorry that I'll never again, alas, be able to buy an Olympic ticket with pocket change. $10 tickets are certainly a thing of the past.
