It's not like the average tax payer has zero benefits to hosting an Olympics. We've hosted one before and it was by alla accounts, a success. The economic impact could be huge boon for a lot of local businesses, restaurants, hotels, construction and etc. The Olympics can be profitable if done right. This city certainly has the experience and track record of hosting successful large scale 10+ day events.
