Should Boston bid on the Olympics?
- When I was chatting with Chris earlier today, the subject of the Olympics and Boston came up. Should Boston bid?
- #### My two cents
- Boston should not try to host the Olympics, in fact no one should. With climate change, a new venue for the Olympics every four years is an extravagance we can't afford. Sure it's a drop in the bucket but it's an important and symbolic drop in the bucket.
- Build one great Olympic facility, designed to be usable for 100 years. Hold all future Olympics there.
- It's like the United Nations. We don't build a new skyscraper every four years. We built one really good one, and use it every time we need the UN.
