Well, we may disagree here but I view the Olympics as a little more than bread-and-circus. To host it would force Detroit to make infrastructure improvements to the city and region. It would also give the region a concrete goal and date of completion for these projects, so that they actually do get off the drawing board. How long have we been talking about a commuter train from Ann Arbor? How long have we been talking about a light rail train down Woodward? And neither project seems any closer to realization than the day I first heard about the projects years ago.
