I guess the + / - 40 meters on the mainland, coupled with the "nice neighborhood" really does add value.
To me, the coloured sims represent a time and place in SL where creative folk came together and made use of a great, mostly unabused resource, and used it to form a great sense of community, productivity and uniqueness.

While SL is no longer at a scale where that can be done in concentrated amounts, inflating the total square footage on the mainland is really not helping to foster or maintain value & intention to make land owned there worthwhile.
