"1984 L.A. Olympics was the first time in history that the host city made profit. It was also a milestone, which attracted many cities positively bid for the hosting rights. But now it seems the Games hit another period of stagnation." Zhang told Xinhua, "I just hope this time L.A. won't exceed its budget that much, and our taxpayer won't pay for the costs."

A group named "Nolympicsla" is launching a campaign to oppose to L.A. Olympics. The activists insist that no matter 2024 or 2028, it will be a disaster for Los Angeles people.

"The Olympics puts the interests of the mega-rich and corporate brands above the interests of athletes, fans, and working people in the cities it commandeers," Nolympicsla.com posted, calling on supporters to call city council members and ask them to veto the agreement.

The organization listed major reasons why Angalinos should refuse 2028 Olympics, the first one is "all financial reporting and planning for an LA Olympics Games was for 2024. Adding four years to this process requires further study before City Council considers the host city contract."

It also warned that staging the Olympics in the city would require local law enforcement to fully cooperate with Federal Security agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, which would put the immigrant communities at greater risk of deportation.

Caesar Harris, the senior media professional used to work in CBS, believed that the council would approve the Host City Contract with IOC since everybody knows local people really want the games back to the city for the third time after 1932 and 1984.
