Boston Olympic Bid

In my opinion, the failed bid for Boston 2024 Summer Olympics will help the city more than not. Two specific examples come to mind. For one, traffic would be a terrible issue. Every day, enormous amounts of people commute to Boston for their work day. I speak from experience as my mom commutes every day and she despises how long it takes to get to work. If the Olympics were here, there would be even more people using the roads and traffic would be at a perpetual standstill. The other issue would be a demand for housing. It would cost insurmountable amounts of money to pay for all of the venues and hotels needed to house everyone who is present at the games and we would most likely lose money from the endeavor. It would have been fun, yes. But the fun is not worth the steps that would have to be taken to bring the Olympics here.
