Atlanta '96?????
and weather there was one of the big problems with the games in Atlanta.
NOLA is too small for the Olympics, moving forward you will only see the Olympics is big cities like Beijing and London. In the US, LA might be the best chance, NYC is just too compact. Chicago maybe.

New Orleans' shot at hosting an Olympics has already come and gone.
That city's golden age ended decades ago.
The Olympics would also view the Atlanta games as having been too recent to award another Olympiad to the South.
New Orleans' problem isn't really the infrastructure/transportation/safety, etc... all of that can be fixed. The city's biggest problem is finding leaders to make those improvements. I have less faith in the leadership of New Orleans than I do in its existing, outdated and damaged infrastructure.

weather isn't an issue. houston and tampa have a similar climate and were both finalists. beijing weather is equally shitty.
