Some of the rooms might get cheaper, yes.  And the trashier rooms
will probably be forced out of the mix.  So if I were visiting
Columbia, I guess I'd be thrilled.  But I live her, so if developers
are going to throw money at a market of dubious size or strength, I 
would rather see something *I'd* use. :-)

More seriously, the usual problem with building booms is that they
can lead to serious busts, and as a homeowner, I don't want to see
that.  I also don't want to see the dessicated remains of the Ramada
Inn rusting away for years a la the Biscayne Mall.
