I would say no. One of the major detractors is the enormous cost, as well as the lingering financial burden, most host cities dont make a profit on the games overall due to massive overruns.

I think its better, for now, to just remember the incredible success of '88, its not like there is any significant rush, most, if not all, of the facilities would have to be effectively re-built anyways so its not like there is a marginal window of opportunity there.
