I was really hoping it would be Toronto. I'm from Rochester (across Lake Ontario) and not only would I likely have gone if they were there, but it would have had benefited the economy of probably every city within 100 miles. I'm honestly not surprised with the decision, since the IOC rarely has looked at the practical side but rather on who puts on the best show for them. Democracy has little influence with the IOC since they are an elitist non-democratic organization themselves!
