Time for the games to go green !

A variant of this idea would be to pick a handful of cities globally and have games rotate between those, reusing the Olympic infrastructure every time.
Paris, London and Los Angeles have hosted or will soon have hosted the games three times each, they could be on the permanent list from now on. Tokyo, twice, only Asian city to do so, so on the list as well. Four cities in rich, developed, and open/democratic/stable countries. We could rotate between those from now on, no waste of infrastructure anymore.
Obviously Paris and London would be spaced 8 years apart; 50% of the Games would be in Europe, 25% in America and 25% in Asia.
These four global cities are all of interest and "convenient" travel destinations anyway.
