I am simply saying the less amount of bids for an Olympics is precluded with many more cities showing initial interest - year in and year out. Only those seriously considering a bid usually make it to the bid stage.
To say only a few cities are interested is disingenuous when all you are looking at is the final stage of bidding.

Actually making a bid shows true interest though. So if the actual bids are declining then I think its fair to say there is less interest. All the numbers I provided were actual bids. If in a 20 year span you go from 9 actual bids to potentially 1 or 2 how can that not show a decrease in interest? Anyone can walk into a store, only those truly interested will buy something.
