Here's what Rio locals really think about hosting the Olympics

From polluted waters to an "uninhabitable" Olympic village, many athletes aren't thrilled about the upcoming Olympic Games taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When asked by Reuters to reflect on the Olympics coming to their hometown, Rio locals, known as "Cariocas," had similarly mixed feelings.

Some are optimistic about the boost in tourism and the chance to bolster their image; some dismiss the Olympics as a waste of resources; most worry about safety on the streets. However, all of them hope that the games will leave the city in better condition than when they arrived.
