i sincerely hope my nearest city never has to host a world cup, an olympics, a eurovision, or anything similarly disruptive. even something like a marathon can make it very difficult to get around, and all the tourism overwhelms waste disposal. basically means I’d have to stay home all day. i can only imagine what 2 weeks straight would do to me
I wouldn’t say that, as a counterexample I was living in London during the 2012 Olympics and have no memory of it being problematic. It all depends on the preparation and quality of public transport, London managed to absorb it all quite well and some areas benefitted from being tidied up in the process.
to be clear, i don’t think it’s necessarily a problem for everyone in the city, i guess i was exaggerating. but for the people who live right next to a stadium thoroughfare, or right outside a venue, i imagine it can be denilitating. any idea if that was the case in 2012, one way or the other?
Traffic so bad, you’re gonna be moving back the way you came.
idgf about anything world cup.
this is going to be my first and last interaction with this facsist shitshow.
LA has a decent public transit system and some areas are good to walk and bike in, also, most people can avoid that area
