Get ready to lose! - Ny beats sf for olympic bid, ioc next

well, there'll be a lot of construction jobs for all the stuff that needs to be built, along with various other jobs which would get created over the next 10 years which would help unemployment which would help the economy. as a resident i can see it being a huge pain in the ass, but at the same time, the city would benefit economically in the long run, so it would be worth the headache.

True, but they won't be permanent jobs for the most part. Transportation issues definitely also need to be worked out better than just extending the 7 train.

How can we build stadiums etc for the Olympics when we are not doing a Damn thing at the World Trade Center site.

You can't build on the WTC for a few years....its only been a little more than a year, building other areas of the city is totally different than building on Ground Zero.
