So, let me get this straight... We can be automatically "upgaded" to a Homestead region that gives you 3,750 prims (as opposed to the 3,750 prims the abused OpenSpace regions allowed) with a price increase to $125 a month (as opposed to the initial $125 a month offer)

What am I missing?

Oh, abuse will go as they will now allow people to live on them. Magic... Pay 66% more without technical changes and the abuse is not a concern any more.
