The Huffington Post has this interesting article by Tom Tresser, a Chicago educator and oranizer, addressing concerns about the city’s attempt to host the 2016 Olympic Games.

The games organizers often talk about “economic impact” and “lasting legacy” for the games.
The likely impact and legacy will be debt, displacement and diminished public parks.
While I am not as staunchly against the Olympia bid as Tresser and the other protesters, I do understand their concerns. I wrote a paper on this subject last fall, which I will be posting up shortly.
