The Bay Area Sports Organizing Committee has been formed with the mission to have the San Francisco Bay Area selected as the U.S. candidate city for the 2012 Olympics (warning, it’s an all-Flash site). I can’t imagine what things will look like for Bay Area residents in 2012 with the current crushing growth we’re experiencing. I’m not sure having to deal with the preparations for the Olympics would necessarily help with the infrastructure that’s already needed to support our population. Still, it would be a source of pride and community building. Perhaps it can galvanize the San Jose and San Francisco communities into one, though my cynical side is thinking that hostilities could arise from that front.
