True, but some places are less expensive for a greater number of people
than others are. If we were to order cities by some vague criterion of
"number of people who can get there for under US$500, plus number of
people who can get there for under US$1000, weighted by some unspecified
amount", my guess based on consolidator spot-checking is that, from
least to most expensive, the four Wikimania cities would be ordered:
Frankfurt, Boston, Taipei, Alexandria. I.e., we're picking somewhere
less accessible every year!
