mainland realestate market

[Skeeter Coakes]

  Doesn't Linden Labs realize they have basically destroyed the mainland realestate market with the policy of selling abandoned land for 1L$ per sq. meter?

That policy comes very late in a long decline of basic Mainland values.  Demand has been shrinking steadily for years, to the point that there are now some parcels so undesirable that they won't even get a L$0.5/sq.m. opening bid at auction.  That being the case, it's difficult to argue that the L$1/sq.m. policy has much effect at all.  It might make conditions more apparent, but I doubt it's much changed the underlying market.
