It would be great to see a city who wants to host olympics sell shares/ bonds or similar arrangement to its constituents when they would like to host them. Gofundme on a very large scale. I am sick of financing politicians very short sighted spending sprees when there are so many more better ways of managing our resources.

I wouldn't be surprised. Happened to us in our town recently, where the people voted "no" on a particular spend. Council ignored the will of the people and went ahead with the project anyway.
