Through the 3 years i have been in second life, something has always been recurring whenever i am on the mainland, its abandoned, seemingly most of it is abandoned and left to Governor Linden and the maintenance group.
Looking at statistics from GridSurvey, the amount of abandoned land on the mainland has gone up
In July 2014, Abandoned Mainland made up 13.4 to 14.2% of total mainland
In Jan 2017, Abandoned Mainland made up 20.7 to 21.4% of total mainland
On Average in 2018, ~45,000 Residents are online out of the 54 Million Accounts
I say that Linden Labs takes say 1/2 or 1/3 of the Abandoned Mainland and lets non-profit organizations in Second Life rent it out and sell it, to help the non-profits, or they could make a week long deal where residents claim up to a certain amount of land, and they give it to them free, because otherwise the land just sits there, looking not so pretty.
Any Comments on That?
