Here you go, you can try to join the official Boston 2024 Olympics Citizens Advisory Group by clicking here.
Hey, does the official San Francisco bid committee have such a citizen’s group?
No, not at all.
And here’s another thing that’s better about Boston – the Olympics backers over there didn’t go around registering URLs for websites that citizens could use to offer a non-official point of view, like NoBostonOlympics.org for example. Compare that with our local boosters, who went out and registered NoSFOlympics website URLs to prevent anyone from using them. (This kind of URL squatting is a tad cheesy IMO.)
You know at this point, the bids from all the cities have ended up looking pretty much the same:
Obviously, the bid groups have received pressure and guidance from elements of the USOC on what their bids should look like. But one difference is that Boston has a citizens advisory group and San Francisco does not.
In this sense, Boston’s bid committee is better than San Francisco’s.
