Boston Olympics? Is the best the US can do?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33180points) January 9th, 2015

The US Olympic Committee selected Boston as the preferred US site for 2024. Ultimately, the International Olympic Committee will choose from the set of countries that make bids.

I like Boston as much as anyone – to visit – but do they have what is needed for the Olympics? And Boston traffic is horrible 23 hours a day – how will they get teams and fans to the various outlying venues?

And more to the point, is Massachusetts really going to be eager to build whatever facilities are necessary?

Did the USOC just throw away their chances for 2024?
