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!
