Chicago over L.A.: Chicago gets to bid for 2016 Olympics

I actually felt that L.A. didn't deserve the right to bid for the 2016 Olympics. I know it sounds odd but this city is not worthy of the Olympics. Los Angeles has the all the sports facilities to host the Olympics but we certainly are not the best city in America and it is my feeling that only the best city in America should host the Olympics.

L.A. has no viable rapid transit system because we are so large. The middle class has been erased; (The average cost per house in L.A. County is $500,000 but the average income in the city of Los Angeles is $20,000 per capita, and $39,000 for households). Only 44% of high school students in the Los Angeles Unified School District graduate in four years time, the LAPD is ordered what laws it can selectively enforce, and none of what I am saying is a lie or hyperbole. I think only the best city in America should get the Olympics and Los Angeles is not the best city. GO CHICAGO!
