  There wasn't?  Have you noticed that (with the exception of Fenway,
and one other) attendance is way down this year?

  Similarly, I understand that the landlord in question got a lot
of flack and bad publicity and bad will.  If I were moving to
Atlanta, I wouldn't rent from that company.  (Note: Just because
something makes someone a better or worse landlord, doesn't mean
it's legally or ethically obligatory.  My landlord hasn't raised
my rent in three years of occupancy [the last two at-will].  That's
why I stay, even with other problems.  If the rent went up even
$25 I'd move.  She knows it, I know it.  I wouldn't piss and moan,
I'd just move.)

  That may very well be.  Cities fight for the privilege of hosting
the Olympics, but it's a hassle.  I guess people don't think about
the downside enough.
