To give examples, Calgary recently voted not[1] to host the Winter Olympic Games when they had been previously known for doing quite well in 1988. [2] When I was in high school we had a substitute teacher from Greece to talked about how he was unhappy with the economic effects on small towns from larger infrastructure projects after the 2004 summer games.
I wish we would quit moving it around. The Olympics could be quite profitable if countries didn't spend a fortune building for it.
If we held it in Athens (not sure if Olympia could support it?) for the summer, then have it rotate between countries that can host without massive infrastructure changes for the winter (NA - Calgary/Lake Placid, Europe - St. Moritz, Oslo Asia - Beijing, Pyeongchang).
