Pete, I quite agree that if anything falls short it's the taxpayers' baby. And Sara--I think you are quite reasonable, not a snert. R.D. I don't know the financial stuff, but your prie in Chicago comes through. <br /><br />I can't say you've got my mind made up, but this is good input.Barbara D'Amatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03991495702239085323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29793018.post-77053175052430203952009-09-17T18:14:07.963-05:002009-09-17T18:14:07.963-05:00I know I'm a miserable snert, but I do not wan...I know I'm a miserable snert, but I do not want these Olympics. No city has ever been able to recoup the money spent on building facilities, and very little trickles down to the neighborhoods that really need it. This city is short on public transit, our roads are a shocking mess, don't even start on the schools--and if we tie up all available funds in Olympic building, our Sara Paretskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803185134430978343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29793018.post-14895797132571764602009-09-17T17:39:27.420-05:002009-09-17T17:39:27.420-05:00There will, no doubt, be some drawbacks to the Oly...There will, no doubt, be some drawbacks to the Olympics, but the positives will outweigh the negatives. Chicago has always lived in the shadow of New York City (The Second City), yet the Columbian Exposition was here and people still remember it. The 2016 Olympics are an opportunity to once more bring the world to our doorstep.

I suspect a lot of assurances are being made right now by people who are crossing their fingers that they'll never be asked to follow through. Remember, this is a city that can't build a major park without going hundreds of millions over budget and several years overdue.

We were so fearful of the crowds the L.A. Olympics would bring that we stayed away - and later regretted it because it wasn't that bad - maybe many others stayed away, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
