Pretty optimistic about whether foreign nationals will be willing to risk travel to the United States by 2028.

They'll probably be a mass boycott of the games in 2028, if our dear orange furher hasn't started WWIII by then

The city has announced the 2028 Games will not allow cars, a tall order after plans were nixed to expand the area's transit system.
Greater Los Angeles is building more transit right now than any city in the country. Now, they have fallen behind on a few things, but they are building so much you can hardly tell.
Already open (openings in the past two or three years):
1. Regional Connector in downtown Los Angeles; turns three poorly routed light rail lines into two that run through downtown Los Angeles, with three new shared stations (and a relocated fourth) that provide cross platform transfers to North, South, East, and West of downtown.
2. Partial opening of the K Line in the Inglewood area.
3. ARROW DMU train service between Redlands and San Bernardino. Kind of a light rail/commuter rail hybrid.
Will be open before the Olympics:
1. Full K Line opening (scheduled next month) with a station near LAX.
2. Extension to the A Line to Pomona (one of the light rails using the Regional Connector that is already the longest in the world).
3. Extension to the D Line heavy rail subway through Beverly Hills and Westwood, ending at the VA hospital.
4. LAX People Mover (connects LAX to the Metro Rail network to the C and K Lines at the station in #1 as well as between the terminals, parking lot, and rental car facility).
5. Orange County Streetcar through Santa Ana and Garden Grove.
I'm not even including minor improvements like double tracking, more service, bus lanes, etc.

Poor LA. these Olympics are going to be such a colossal flop.
Between international rebuke of our poisoned nation and our blundering asshole diplomats we be getting no support whatsoever.
Then the GOP will sabotage any major blue-voting city in any endeavor they attempt that might create international good will.

Trump likes parades and shiat. I think he'll give it tons of support so he can be there front and center.
Now, whether the world boycotts it, dunno.

I can see Trump deploying the military to sit in empty seats just to make it look more crowded.
