Would any US city, or any city anywhere in the world, willingly seek this nightmare?

The IOC should spend whatever it takes to bring what's left of the 2004 Athens Olympic facilities up to standards, and then make the birthplace of the Olympic movement it's permanent home.

The assurance that the games would be held there every four years would justify the investment in infrastructure and it might prove to be a much needed kick in the ass for the Greek economy.
