Toronto residents when they hear about people in LA complaining about traffic.

    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?

    Well I worked near one of the venues and I got to work and home every day on time. Maybe it's rose-tinted glasses as it was 14 years ago, I remember plenty of other complaints about the organisation of the games, we like to complain in this country, but I don't remember hearing of any transport problems. London is not a car-centric city like LA which makes this a relevant point for this community.

    LA has a decent public transit system and some areas are good to walk and bike in, also, most people can avoid that area
