Boston - the terrible choice
You hear Boston has been nominated as the host of the 2024 Summer Olympics?
USA Today put together a very compelling list of 9 reasons why Boston makes absolutely no sense.
1. no infrastructure in place
2. transportation will be a nightmare
3. "Storrow Drive" (sounds like a total driving nightmare)
4. public transit woes
5. no main stadium
6. some blah, blah, blah about a soccer team
7. colleges are going to be responsible for building some of the venues
8. not enough hotels
9. anti-Boston protests have already begun
Very compelling stuff.

There's too much money invested in the Olympics these days. They are more of a spectacular show-off than a sporting event.
Skip Boston.
Pick a city that's already hosted and already has infrastructure in place.
Out for now......
