It's a pure waste of money. It took the people of Montreal 30 years to pay off the debt from the 1976 Games. The 2004 Games in Athens seriously worsened Greece's financial and economic situation. Beijing displaced 1.5 million people to host the 2008 Games. All for some mega vanity project.

Actually los angeles games was profitable so it's possible to make it work but yes in most cases it's a serious money lose which is why i think games should be regularly in countries which knows how to make money on it like usa or china.And who knows maybe London games will be profitable too considering all crap which they were doing.
