No you are still wrong, if people cared they would use the high street to make sure it survives. I see people in my high street too, guess what its mostly people who work near it popping out at lunch time. I have the evidence of the empty and boarded up shops, the demise of chain stores as they become unprofitable. The proliferation of pound shops, pawn shops, charity shops where there used to be butchers, bakers and candle stick makers. I have the evidence the only people calling on governments to do something about the decline are high street retailers not high street users. When people care they campaign to do something. The silence from people who might use the high street is deafening You have....well nothing except for I am Phil Deakins and cannot be wrong. Go away and find some evidence to back up your assertion and come back when you have an argument until then all you have is repeating a mantra in the hope its true

Why should we encourage people to move onto it old or new. Personally I find no lack of community in SL. You certainly won't build a community by coercing people into living next to you. Its merely a thinly disguised call for the labs to spend more time money and energy on the premium crowd rather than all sl residents. A plea for preferential treatment when you do nothing to deserve it

Ah Phil and the art of being wrong. You only need to look round to see the high street with the boarded up shops, full of nothing but bookies and charity shops and pawnbrokers. See the big chain stores leaving the high st or going bust. Or maybe just read all the appeals in the paper from store owners to "Revive the high street" naturally at tax payers expense Or even look at the research on footfall in the high street as this article does https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/may/14/shoppers-desert-uk-high-streets-to-put-more-jobs-at-risk Simply put people really don't care a high street is nothing special or they care about is being able to buy what they want when they want. If they cared they would use high streets to ensure their survival. Simple fact is they dont. You can call the statement silly all you want that however does not make your assertion correct

More importantly you start off with an unproved premise, Mainland is worth saving - first you have to show this to be true before arguing about how to do it. This is the same thing we are getting in rl currently about saving our high streets even though frankly most people couldn't give a damn

You can tell me what you like Phil, I don't object to contrary viewpoints anymore than I object to others having different sexuality to me. There are many things I find morally repulsive in life just as you do. Where we differ is I think this is my morality and I live by it I don't expect others to live by it
