Na... That is a major part of the reason for silly real estate prices now - there are folks arriving from North America and living here or purchasing a second home.
As an indicator, last year there was a shortage of 82,000 hotel beds for tourism. On a different level - it's the same with properties and these are being constructed to meet demand.
The North American, or specifically US element of immigration started after 9/11 but just increased since that time. The next area of flooding into Costa Rica is from the EU, - it has already started, - and an international airport is being constructed to carry air traffic direct from EU cities to Costa Rica.
