Boston: Poor Olympics site

           I am not too surprised that Boston was turned down for the most Olympics. There are so many factors that have to be considered, the parking, air pollution, space for the arena, and several other things. Where would Boston have the actual events, there is not even close to enough space to hold the events and where would everybody stay. They could use the college dorms but still there might not be enough space to hold the athletes. The air quality is another factor that would lead to the rejection of Boston as the host of the upcoming Olympics. The air quality may be better than china but it still isn’t the best for the athletes and fans. Also another factor is the parking. Where would the supporting fans park? Boston is already a highly populated city and this would only add to the traffic and commotion. I am not surprised that Boston was turned down as a possible place for hosting the Olympics in the upcoming years.

  1. I agree that there is not enough space for Boston to hold the Olympics. I also agree with your point about the traffic. It would take forever to just get from event to event.

  2. I liked how you talked about air quality also rather than just typical problems like space, traffic, and cost.

  3. I agree with your opinion. A Boston Olympics would be impossible to do safely and well. The fact that Boston was not a planned city makes it tough as well. The layout is not as organized as other cities that were planned out completely before construction, meaning it would be harder to manipulate for Olympics as well.
