I myself, think that no one but businesses will benefit from these Olympics being here. The city needs to make many upgrades on infrastructures and it would all cost tax payers more money. Aside from this it would speed gentrification in the south side, which would force people to move out. If not gentrification, many businesses will establish in the areas where Olympic events will take place only to leave and create more vacant lots in our city. Either way, there is no beneficial side to the Olympics besides gaining a bit more popularity.

Again, thanks for posting.
