Boston Olympics

I think it was the right decision for Boston to be turned down for the Olympics. The reasons why Boston would not be a good host for the 2024 Olympics is because of the huge increase in taxes and the problem of  trying to bring in thousands of people. The cost of hosting the Olympics is more than what Boston collects in taxes each year, meaning people will have to pay more taxes to cover the cost of the Olympics. Some people believe that the taxes could go towards other things that the city needs like housing and transportation. It would also be a huge challenge to bring in thousands of people for a few weeks. Residents who oppose the Olympics argue that there's not enough room in the city for this number of people, and that traffic and transportation would be a mess. This is why it was a bad idea for the 2024 Olympics to be held in Boston.
