Well, "overrun" *is* a word with negative connotations. To use an example
close to home for you, wouldn't you say that Disney World is *overrun* with
tourists? Even so, that's not a reflection on the individual tourists. Or
the place itself. It's not saying the tourists are *bad*, to say that there
are a lot of them.
