I for one am willing to believe that FIRST has the best in mind when choosing the locations of the championships.

But thats just it, FIRST shouldnt settle for a "manageable" championship setup. FIRST should only want the perfect setup for the World Championships. When you bring in over 100,000 people to a city for close to a week and have them spending the amount of money into an economy, bringing the exposure to that city, and giving you a deal to continually have that for usually 2-3 years, FIRST should be able to pick any city they really want.
