I'll be talking with @saje-la.bsky.social's Chris Tyler and @neildemause.bsky.social on February 19 at noon on Zoom to discuss this report and what LA can do next — join us!

The opening ceremony for the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics kicks off momentarily. Hope you'll take a sec to read this critical overview @edgeofsports.bsky.social & I wrote @thenation.com. You likely won't see anything we wrote on the screens of NBC, CBC etc! www.thenation.com/article/soci...

It's time for everyone in LA to realize that cancelling the Olympics will be a lot less costly than hosting them, in many more ways than one.

I just completed a study for SAJE on whether LA should try to back out of hosting the 2028 Olympics. The short answer: It could cost billions to extricate LA from its Olympic contract, but could cost even more billions to go through with it, so it's worth considering. www.saje.net/wp-content/u...

"The decision on whether to try to cancel or renegotiate the terms of Olympic hosting depends on which you prefer to risk: billions of dollars in losses on hosting the Games, or billions in penalties for not hosting them."

A new @saje-la.bsky.social report by @neildemause.bsky.social is a must-read

Did you know? If the 2028 Games end up with the same level of cost overruns as other recent Olympics, L.A. taxpayers could end up covering $6.6 billion or more in expenses.
