Boston's Rejected Olympic Bid

I believe that Boston choosing not to put in a bid for the Olympics was a good choice for many reasons. To start the Olympics costs lots of money, money that frankly Boston doesn't just have free to throw around. Along with costs, the Olympics brings a large need for transportation. Boston's public transportation system isn't doing so well. The MBTA has had many issues in recent years and even after changing management companies the problem doesn't seem to be getting better. Those two issues along with the increasing need for security at events like the Olympics makes it far from worth while for the citizens of Massachusetts.
