Journalists at Sochi are live-tweeting their hilarious and gross hotel experiences
Amid continued debate over whether or not Sochi is prepared to host the 2014 Olympics (here are 15 alarming signs that Russia might not be ready) reporters from around the world are starting to check into local hotels — to their apparent grief. Some journalists arriving in Sochi are describing appalling conditions in the housing there, where only six of nine media hotels are ready for guests. Hotels are still under construction. Water, if it’s running, isn’t drinkable. One German photographer told the AP over the weekend that his hotel still had stray dogs and construction workers wandering in and out of rooms.

When the IOC and Putin's powers combine...

You get an overly expensive, poorly designed, unprepared, unfinished, borderline dangerous dumpster fire of an Olympics. Oh, and it's a Winter Olympics in a city where the average low temp at the coldest part of winter is 30 degrees with an average high of 50. "Winter" "Olympics" indeed.

Considering the Detroit area is one of the wealthiest in the country it sure would. Maybe not downtown, but it's nothing a few flamethrowers couldn't fix.
