Local police forces use the Olympics like their own private cash machine, and the LA28 Games will be no exception. LAPD “is anticipating a $375.4 million price tag for officer overtime alone” during the period of the Olympics.

The price tag for policing the LA Olympics? $730 million, says LAPD
Local and state agencies are counting on the federal government to cover the cost of extra police, but it’s not guaranteed.

Bis zuletzt behauptete der Senat unwidersprochen, dass es eine hohe Zustimmung für die Spiele gab (PK gestern). Die Forsa-Umfrage von August 26 ergab: "Berlin: Nur ein Viertel der Bürger will Olympia". Auch das fand keine große Beachtung hier. Stattdessen Pro-Olympia-Dauerbeschallung. Enttäuschend.

So tief gespalten ist Berlin vor der Wahl – ein Aspekt überrascht

There are two movements — labor and transit advocates — who decided not to fight the LA24/28 bid a decade ago, choosing instead to heel and embrace the Olympics. The strategy was to do nothing for a decade and 'leverage gains' out of LA28 and the IOC. Where are those gains now?

There are somehow still a few low information individuals who will claim LA & Athens are ideal sites for a permanent Olympics. LA can barely keep the lights on and is in a constant state of emergency. The last time Athens hosted the Olympics it helped destroy Greece's economy.

Critics argue that channelling funds towards Olympic-linked projects is not the best way to prioritise wider transit improvements. “More often than not, when you create an artificial deadline, the priorities go to where the tourist dollars are, not to the people who are transit-dependent."
