No-one wants this except big biz.
The city cannot support the expense and disruption that the games will cost. Almost everyone I speak with does not believe this whole endeavor will work. It will be another fiasco like the 'big dig'. In fact, no-one believes the committee baloney about costs either.

Take this whole thing and go to LA. Better yet, find a spot in Greece and have a permanent location for the games!!

No matter where you live in Massachusetts, this endeavor will be incredibly disruptive and costly. The state and the citizens do not have the money or the patience to cope with this.
