Tokyo city unveiled details of their bid to host the 2016 Olympics on Friday. Tokyo organizers say their bid offers "the most compact games" and "green energy" sources including solar and wind power. Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara said "We hosted the Olympics in 1964 and plan to use many of those facilities which are still standing and in good condition." Tokyo city's report says that 70% people of Japan approve the Tokyo Olympics.
However, the residents of Tokyo, like me, are not so enthusiastic. According to the opinion poll conducted by the IOC, 59% of us approve the Tokyo Olympics, which is the least rate among the candidate cities. It's natural because we are suffering from the worst recession since the WW2. Tokyo is notorious for its shortage of medical care and the "commuting hell". The budget of 5 billion dollars can be used for more useful ends.
