Four Final Cities in the Hunt for USOC 2024 Olympic Games Bid: LA, San Francisco, Boston and Washington DC

L.A. has everything built already and is the choice of the puolic but WDC needs jobs and the entire cost would be 100% paid for by the U.S. Congress thus 2024 Washington D.C. is the plan.

I 2nd Frisco. Frisco just bequeathed a free, no holds barred TWO BILLION DOLLAR NFL stadium to the 49ers. Frisco has the 50 Billion Dollars in public funds needed for the 2024 Olympics. Go Frisco 2024.

Wasn't the DC bid a joint one with Baltimore?

I hope D.C. doesn't get it. It's a disgusting city and would make the U.S. look pretty bad on the world stage.

Washington in the summer? Please, no

Do people really call it "Frisco?"

Also, DC and Baltihorse is a terrible idea. Gangs and Blight are okay if you're Brazil and you can just kill all the unwanted folks with no press coverage, but look at what happened in Ferguson! We'd never hear the end of it.

Where would they build the stuff? I mean, there is nowhere in DC where they could build a single stadium, let alone like 10 of them. So it would be all Baltihorse and then it would be the "Baltimore Games," which is just absolutely fvcking terrible.

Beantown needs the Olys and also IAAF Worlds. Beantown needs jobs for regular folks. It would cost only 40 Billion for the Olympics and IAAF Worlds which would be re-couped quickly. Vote for Beantown 2024.

Hosting Olympics does not end well for cities. It's great for visitors but it sucks for the people who live there, especially the poor who are inevitable displaced to accommodate stadiums and housing for the rich. We should do everything possible to avoid holding it in the U.S.

False. $100B of stimulus never hurt any metropolitan area.

Mods, can we please have this post removed? We all know that hosting the Olympics is every citizen's dream. To speak against the Olympics is traitor-esque. Don't trust anyone who is anything less than thrilled to host the Olympics.

Randy, don't go away mad, just go away.

No-one in the Bay Area would ever call it Frisco.

DC is a shoe in. The Federal Reserve prints the money to pay the bill.

Sorry to say that there's zero chance of the US getting the Summer Olympics.

No one calls it Frisco. If anything it's called "SF". Frisco is a suburb of Dallas, Texas.

Frisco has the only straight community in Dallas Metro.

How is DC even in the final four US cities? They should absolutely not host.

Judging by the law of rotation, it won't be South America (2016) or Asia (2020). Europe has been 12 years by then so that is certainly a chance. So is Australia (24 years).

Here is my prediction:

Paris: 10% (France will face economic decline over the next few years)

Berlin: 5% (lacking support by Germans in Berlin)

Hamburg/Copenhagen: 20% (good chance)

Istanbul: 20% first Olympics to be held in Europe and Asia at the same time

LA: 10% (already had it)

Boston 15%

San Fran: the hippies will not back the bid
