Ah, yup. Much as I'm in favor of having the 2011 Worldcon in Reno, I wanted that to be fandom's choice between the competitors rather than one bid having to withdraw because their facilities weren't available.
Much as the entire Minneapolis in '73 mythos is built on a bid that withdrew before the vote took place, having to withdraw strikes me as an utterly heartbreaking position to be in. So many dreams, so many plans, so much work, only to have to stop before the natural end of the process. Hard times.
