This is all we need. More traffic. More tourists. And more money going towards idiotic stadiums.
Do people actually believe that whatever money is made from this (after billions are spent first) will trickle down into the schools or anything else worthwhile?

no, that's the point of politics. none of it is honest, whom do you think pushes it in every country of the world, including the olympic people themselves?

it's amazing to me that people think these things are done for the good of man and all that BS. it's all about the money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...

They should do away with the Olympics altogether. This symbolic gesture of bringing all nations together, blah blah blah.

Another amazing thing to me is that they rarely have it in any 3rd World/Developing country, such as South Africa. They've been trying to get it for the longest time and have adequate facilities. At least they got the WC. FIFA agreed to do it, but they are much the same as the Olympic community, just seeing Euro and Dollar signs. I think it was more pressure than anything in this case.

You;ll get over it....if Atlanta could handle it...I'm sure NYC can..it wasn't HALF as bad as was warned

I will guarentee NYC gets the olympics in 2012. And if we get the west side stadium, that will essentially sinch the deal. If only it wasn't such a long process to lock into a city for the Olympics or else they would have been held here now to further exploit 9/11.

I'm not so sure it's NYC as much as it is Queens, right? All the land and venues would end up there I hear from developers I once knew in NYC.

I should say other Boroughs vs. Queens Borough.

As far as I know, they would be in all the boroughs. Baseball in the Bronx, a lot of stuff in LIC in Queens, if the West Side stadium gets built, then some of it would probably also be in the city.
Besides, Queens is still NYC and there area they are proposing (Long Island City) is directly across the river from Manhattan.

LIC, Astoria would be making some do-re-me! All the Greeks, Columbians and Arabs would be mighty happy

Don't worry about it NYC doesn't have a fighting chance in hell on getting based on the past Olympic trends.
