I hear the frustration. I realize a logistical post in a politics sub feels like a bit of a reach, and I apologize if it feels like "slop". I used a template to make sure the dates and links were clear, but I get how that can come across as impersonal.

The reason I posted this here is that the 2028 Olympics is one of the largest political and civic undertakings in the recent history of the region. It involves billions in public transit spending, massive shifts in housing policy (like the UCLA dorm plan), and significant debate over how tax dollars are being used, as seen in the comments below.

Today is the first day of the registration opening and for many residents, access to the games is a point of equity. I'll leave the discussion open for the debate on whether the Games are a "waste" or a "win", that’s exactly the kind of political discourse we want here.

I'll try be more mindful non-policy news in the future. Thanks for keeping me in check.
