We had a similar situation here in Florida shortly after Disney World
opened in Orlando, mid-70's.  Hotels up the wazoo.  Many went under and
took some S&L's with them.  The cause of the problem was simple:  ALL of
them did their pro forma business plans on the SAME day!!

Does anyone remember the apartment building boom? I think it was in the
late '80s ? I remember driving past one project after another, Several
friends made the same comment to the effect of "I can't see why they are
still building when the can't fill the ones they already have". Then I
watched as several projects were boarded up and it took about 10 years
for the demand to catch up.  

Now In the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we have a Wallgreens and Eckerd on
opposite corners similar to the way gas stations once were. Home Depot
and Lowes are playing a similar game. I have 3 HDs and 2 Lowes within
about a 6 mile radius. I went to the Lowes last night that is further
from my house just because it has fewer shoppers at the checkouts and I
don't have to wait in line.
