keady - the answer is nobody
1. The image in people's minds is uniformed "Army" troops patrolling the streets
2. And then there are the unmarked cars with masked men shoving people into
them and driving off
3. And the city is a mess of freeways and smog
4. And LA. didn't even want the Olympics. I am told that at the end, only two
cities were willing to accept
5. And there isn't any big, beautiful arenas. The events will be farmed out up
to 30 miles away.
6. And you will need a car. Bus and light rail service was never designed for
such an event
7. And the airport suffers from auto overload even on a good day. New airport
projects are either going to be late or inefficient
8. And the sales and marketing efforts, which should have started by now are
non existent.
Precipitating article:

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby says that while business and leisure travel
have improved since June, the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles might be a net
negative for airlines. Business travel tends to decline during such events, he
says. Kirby also criticizes the ultra low-cost carrier model, particularly
Spirit Airlines, for its reliance on hidden fees.

LAX-adjacent area of Playa del Rey has just become available for $1000 per night
