Boston Turned Down: Good or Bad?
I am happy Boston got turned down for the Olympics. Boston is a great city, but it is not big enough for an event as big as the Olympics. Although Boston would gain money for hosting the Olympics, we would lose a lot more than gained. How would we be able to provide living for all these people? Many new buildings would have to be made in places that Boston does not have room for to host the Olympians, judges and hosts, TV broadcasters, families of athletes, and just overall tourists and fans. Making all those buildings and getting rid of them would be a problem that isn't easy to fix. Another reason that I am happy Boston got turned down is that the traffic would be 1000x worse than it already is. I live 20 minutes away from Boston, and I am not willing to wait 3 hours to get there just because of the Olympics. Overall, we would lose a lot of money in the long run than we would be earning, and we made the right decision.

I agree with your argument that the traffic would be ,much worse in Boston and I also wouldn't be willing to wait 3 hours to get into Boston. At first I thought there wouldn't be enough space to fit all these people but now that I revisit the idea, I feel that if the university's around Boston were willing to host the athletes that space wouldn't be a problem and Hotels could take care of the fans.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with you Kendal, but you had some good points and kind of made me think that it was a good thing that Boston got turned down. Good Job!
