The fact that it was going to be a gigantic clusterf*ck of massive proportions from a logistical perspective is probably the "prohibitive" frontrunner for real reason why Chicago didn't get it.
Agreed. I couldn't imagine how the city and surrounding suburbs for 50 miles wouldn't be completely shut down due to gridlock, trying to hold an Olympics on the lakefront. The affordable hotel rooms needed alone are mind-boggling.

Love my home town, but not the place for a summer Olympics. Rather glad they didn't get it.
