Reminds me of in Milwaukee where the hosting of the RNC was said to bring a huge economic benefit to the area. In reality there was a huge security perimeter around the convention, so everyone avoided downtown for the week. My wife works downtown and her entire office was WFH for the week.
Most businesses saw either no change in revenue or a decline for the week with the exception of hotels which were the only winners.

100%. I wrote about the nonsense “economic impact” of political conventions in the book too.
