Abstract
The note argues that hosting the Olympic Games consistently leads host cities to violate their citizens' right to adequate housing through displacement, gentrification, and the criminalization of homelessness. By analyzing historical patterns and current preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, the analysis contends that the traditional single-city hosting model is unsustainable and harmful.
