Welcome to LA28 

that's why I'm gonna teleport anywhere

Oh god

That’s ok I’ll just take the 405 instead

They were saying this about traffic about the L.A. Olympic Games in 1984. Even back then L.A. has some major traffic back then, but very little during the weeks of the games. I know because I was a volunteer driver during the games driving athletes from the two Olympic dorm villages at UCLA and USC to their competitions all over L.A. I was such a blast and no traffic. Prior to the games some locals planned on leaving L.A. and vacationing elsewhere, lots of tourists stayed away from all of the bad press. Hotel bookings were down. Local amusement parks were uncrowded. After the wonderful opening ceremonies the locals came out in droves to see the games. Everything from soccer to field hockey. Some many of the largest venues for many sporting events filled with lots of spectators for events like archery, la crosse, badminton, handball. Visitors could see some event seats costing as low as $4-$6 dollars. The 84 L.A. games was one of the most successful, profitable and well attended games in the history of the Olympics. The city had no debt from the games and they only needed to build a few sports facilities and just renovate a few others. I'll always remember it fondly as a great thing for the city. Something that made the city and it's residences proud to be Angelenos.

Big facts I’m going take the bus and blame the Olympics for the reason I was late 😂

Will athletes be able to break the world record by surviving with 5 stars?

Same, I still to this day look up stuff about the 2016 bid and think of the what ifs

We carry the beautiful city of Chicago on our backs!!!

Me too

I was very happy and I'm from Brazil, it was just a shame I couldn't go because the price was expensive

Hopefully LA keep the homeless on the streets with their trash, diseases, drugs and high crime rates while other countries see how much the US has fallen

LA28 is banking on the invention of flying cars. No joke. #CancelTheOlympics

or, you know, LA Metro could invest in public transit instead of divesting $1.2B #CancelTheOlympics

Apparently the city of LA is going to improve the train system so everyone could take public transport

People forget LA is also hosting part of the 2026 World Cup it brings in more spectators than the Olympics. No less than a few million people.

@@Fenilee And the LA Metro Líne 1 Will crash with Olympic buses, NO. The americans invented the bullying, instead this #CancelTheOlympics

Me too 😊😊

Crazy to think I’ll start AND finish college by the time these Olympics take place…well, hopefully I guess 😅

I will, too

That would require a massive rezoning reform now. 7 years is enough to do a significant amount of change if the zoning allows for it.

My comment was posted 10 months ago but I think there’s a problem with hosting the olympics now. LA decided to expand the metro transit greatly by 2028 to accommodate tourists to watch the games. Our city is only catering to tourists which I think is wrong since people that are low income have been taking slow buses for decades to get anywhere. I also hear stories that the olympics are partnering with Airbnb to displacing renters out of their apartments to make space for tourists to come here. Instead of buildings stadiums and other things that’ll be left unused after the games, we should be building more housing for low income people. LA should’ve had better public transit a long time ago but the voters and people that mainly drive are out of touch with those that have no car they are only taking into consideration the tourists and not the people who have been taking buses forever that can’t afford a car in this expensive city that’s why LA has voted now for better transit

@@ramenlover1727 yeah that and because nimbys won't allow progress

LA will never be a walkable city - it comprised of hundreds of neighborhoods with there own unique Vibe that sprawls from the valley to the bay, It’s perfect the way it is

Preach!!!!

Hopefully they doing like Paris next year. Paris don't build new venues, they using the old ones. As well pop up venues for short time.

@@moniquearnaud8029 It's still going to be a nightmare, LA's Metro system is just way too small. This might be a wake up call and hopefully it leads to more aggressive expansion after the Olympics.

@@moniquearnaud8029 LA isn't building any new venues, they're even having 2 events in OKC as well

Well those venues were mostly built for the Olympics 🤣 why do you think so many infrastructures have been getting built and renovated in the last 7 years?

2 Years later and the people mover is not done yet at LAX lmfao

Red hot better

We look forward to seeing you here. Good luck to your athletes! 🙂

I feel like LA has a real opportunity to upstage all previous opening and closing ceremonies. Let's hope they nail it!

Mostly be promoting genders, pronouns, black community, anti-racism-capitalism-white, tax the rich and kneel on the ground plus more

​@@KoalaFicationOfficial So there you go, Paris 2024 was only just a teaser.

Short Fat Gæ Man who knows where I’ll be in 8 years. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I could go regardless I guess.

LA has bigger things to fix. Don’t be part of the problem

Give I 15 more years and Sydney will have Australia Tall est twin towers

Better start cleaning up your homeless and start picking up your trash drugs and syringe

if they can do that this would be the GOAT olympics

Im 15 yrs old now and im gonna be 23 in 2028 i wish i can visit LA ny dream destination in USA🇺🇲

Why clean up? Let the other countries see how much the US has fallen with all the homeless in the streets with trash, diseases, drugs and high crime rate

@@KoalaFicationOfficialCalifornia doesn’t represent the whole USA

It didn’t cause traffic the last time it was here. The city planned it well

It’s probably not gonna be any different than it is now. Lol.

ikr like traffic rn is already horrible :/

@@chaole1000 The amount of cars back in 84 till now is probably by a factor of 3. Freeway infrastructure hasn't changed much to accommodate the increase in population. We need more rail.

I'm 16 and live in Germany, we can already drink 🍺🍺!!!!

I´ll be 22 then too but I can already drink cos I´m german POG

I’m 18 and I can drink.

@Brodie Waldock watch out for me then in water polo 🤽🏼‍♀️

@@bryceingelsby well no shit. I went there last week

Just remove capitalism

@@tommywer yeah bro

@@tommywer trust me there is no capitalism going on with the homeless in LA.

@@tommywer tell me ur stupid without telling me ur stupid

By then you'll see the US beautiful dirty homeless on the streets with diseases, drugs and trash plus high crime rate

No different from previous hosts like Brazil and UK.

Stfu

@@PupusaTology99 cause you know it's true. I see and live near that shit. Go to Vermont and Beverly encampments moving along the street.

You know, that’s the real world! Every single city on this planet has these bad parts. It’s not just LA

Some places of the city, and the whole county, have been taken over by the homeless...It's a shame, but hey, that's the socio/progressive/leftist agenda, that ruins everything.

I will be 32

@@MitchellBPYao i will be 22

They should build an MRT!

@@myra8158 i be 32 and i havent been there yet

@@MitchellBPYao maybe you should've save money before. Im 15 and saving 90% of my allowance for LA2028! 🇺🇲 This is once in a lifetime bro.

Who knows

Would be 32 in another 4 years saying I been there

Dejamos que expanda mexico en la ciudad natal de california y el resto del norte y asi pasa en vez de los angeles en la america mexicana y estados pacificos de america estilo dieselpunk futurista (1920-1969)

LA welcomes you

Apply for updates at the website.

And new york hasn’t even had one lmao

@@alibarazi286 New York has bid for it back in 2012 but lost over London

@@rexology1431 They should bid again in the future then.

3rd city after London and Paris to host 3x the Olympic Games.

Such a great city that all homeless love it.

Around 0.3% of people are homeless and it is a choice. They are offered aid but do not use it wisely. There are shelters, and those who want use it do but many prefer to live on their own because they have more freedom (substance abuse or avoiding taking anti-psychotic medication, etc.) It's not like they are diverting funds to go toward the Olympics. These people qualify for housing, and food assistance. I've never seen homeless people go hungry and they do not die from starvation or lack or healthcare. They usually die from substance abuse. It's sad but when people refuse help, there's not much that can be done. We spend 20K per year per homeless person so it is definitely not a lack of funding. What do you propose needs to be done to fix what you consider to be the homeless problem? If they are capable of working and jobs are available but they refuse to work, refuse medical assistance, what do you want?

@@rewardilicious "it is a choice" It's not, the only option they get is affordable housing which is still not affordable because they are unemployed.

Standby for mass incarceration.

@Citizen De Watts LAs homeless issues stems from California's retarded housing regulations. It's homeless rate is significantly higher compared to NYC.

Same here buddy. Same here.

And I will be 23 years old

And I will be 46 years old. Damn!!!!

Y yo tendré 46 años, estaré anciana, oh no!!!! 😔

The government is providing security. That's going to cost $$$.

Better start picking up your trash, drugs and start cleaning up the diseases up streets and give them homeless a wash

No

@@RedOroh ¡Sí! Ñññññññ

¡Sí!

I'm 20 as well

no

maybe i'll see you there ^-^

Disney’s Mickey Mouse will be 100 in 2028. LA, California hosted Super Bowl 56 in 2022. Oops. I meant to say Inglewood hosted it with the SoFi Stadium.

Those percentages look wrong. When i went to California there wasn’t THAT many latinos. It should be 60% white/caucasian, 18% hispanic, 12% black, 8% asian, and 2% other. This is based on the government website.

And no there isn’t that many black people. Nowadays, they’re trying to include many black people on their advertisements to show their support. Way more now than before.

Wokeness.

and Paralympics!

As someone’s say it better to be late than never.

Frrrr
