I feel like I have heard this every Olympics for decades but people still keep competing to host the games. It could just be that it’s about more than the money.
Well if you think about it, it's pitched as a prestige thing, but I don't think that really holds up
So... If a city loses money for hosting it, where does that money go? Someone must be building the infrastructure
