Hopefully the next Mayor will actually be a Japanese "who can say no" and put an end to Tokyo's bid.

Good idea. Explain Montreal's experience. How the 76 games inflicted a massive financial debt on its citizen taxpayers spanning several decades, while the city declined in size and influence from Canada's No. 1 to No. 2 in the games' aftermath.
