I think the future of bay city is looking promising. It was half expected it would get off to a rocky start as it was the largest planned community attempted by LL (until nautilus etc) and SL had changed enormously since they had last done one (Shermanville, Nova Albion etc). Land speculation was bound to happen as that was the pace of the current land business. Land barons are use to being able to buy full sims of land and subdivide and sell at a higher price for having the capital to put down that most people dont. I think the old parcel format threw a lot of speculators off, especially with the uniqueness of the land which left prices much higher with barons bidding against people who wanted the plots for their own use. It is nice to see the speculation slow down and community and business development take over.

The older planned areas such as Boardman, Brown, and De Haro have had success in the past only when a dedicated group of residents has watched over them. So it is great to see the alliance gaining momentum and making positive changes around.

A big thank you also to Cadroe murphy who made the large dome and drum on the taj, as well as the smaller domes with his shape maker tool for me. couldnt have got it done without him!
