Reposted by @saje-la.bsky.socialNeil deMause @neildemause.bsky.social · 05/02/2026I just completed a study for SAJE on whether LA should try to back out of hosting the 2028 Olympics. The short answer: It could cost billions to extricate LA from its Olympic contract, but could cost even more billions to go through with it, so it's worth considering. www.saje.net/wp-content/u... 22616

saje-la.bsky.social @saje-la.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Did you know? If the 2028 Games end up with the same level of cost overruns as other recent Olympics, L.A. taxpayers could end up covering $6.6 billion or more in expenses. Learn more in our latest report: bit.ly/4kfHyRE 085
