The overruns will run huge as they always are, city taxes will skyrocket, and slashing of needed social infrastructure will occur. All so the rich and elite of the city can have an orgy of money, greed, and wealth, under the guise of the Olympic spirit. They trot out celebrities to make people vote with their feelings instead of their brains. It's all so openly gross and transparent.
The bid is garbage.

Not that the bid is great but social spending will not be affected by the Olympics and just being in the Olympic city is amazing with or without tickets. And if they price games like Vancouver Wmens Hockey and Curling will be affordable for at least the lower middle class. Tickets were $20 each for Vanoc. And before you say those events suck they don’t. The Olympics turn a Finland Sweden women’s preliminary hockey game into a playoff game atmosphere. The event itself is awesome.
