I think the biggest problem is that both the state of Georgia and especally
the city of Atlanta would like to piggyback all sorts of programs on top of
the games to solve some of the social ills in the area.  Even though the
state pretty much gave the AOOG the Carte Blanc back when Altanta was the
longest of long shots, all sorts of the local politicos have tried to jump
on the band wagon since Atlanta was chosen.  In fact, at times I wonder it
it would make sense to move everything outside Fulton county.
