There are 6 places around the Gaeta V continent which have very narrow pinch points, and whose protected waterways run too close to region corners and private parcels which are hazardous to a smooth sailing pathway around the Gaeta V continent. These 6 places can easily be fixed without expensively creating any new regions, or affecting Resident parcels near to these "pinch points". By luck or coincidence, there are 6 outer "spare" water regions further offshore which are not currently well used or essential to sailing around the Gaeta V continent. They seem not to be used often and could be moved inshore to improve Gaeta V's inshore coastline. The map I've drawn below features these 6 "spare" offshore regions (in turquoise) and where these "spare" offshore regions should be moved to (in red) inshore. Relocating these 6 "spare" offshore regions would ease and prevent the current inshore narrow pinch points and help to avoid hazardous narrow waterways and entering into Resident's private parcel territories. This would also make the Gaeta V continent more compatible for sailing larger "tall ship" style vessels around the continent too. I strongly suggest and propose that the 6 "spare" offshore water regions (Twelve Fathoms, Qoopz, Gaeta Reef, Christarn, Sciello and Unquar) be treated as "donor" regions and relocated to these 6 new inshore positions.

A suggestion for more diversity to the current urbanism of Linden Homes. For a Cyber punk, Cyber / Tron style neon city based theme catering which could be used to include the robotic & fantasy based community. Example below of a general idea of open glass neon lighted airy home, balconies & set in a neon cityesque environment. The spiral staircases of the Tiki's, metallic / black/ white with neon strips. Newbrooke home would possible lend themselves to the included image to light the cyber /cyberpunk Tron based theme theme with the glass of the Aspens used. Several components of current themes could be utilised to create this kind of theme.

Suggestion for a more understanding water themed merfolk etc region. Houses based on shells, corals set on the ocean floor. Allowing for both boat navigation above & the deeper ocean for submersibles & swimming for the merfolk community. Examples below given for general ideas, the Grotto could be repurposed & tikis given coral/ shell exteriors with continued tiki seabed style on the ocean floor. Small islands/rocks rezzes the homes.

One of the alien community residents asked if there could be Fantasy linden home. In this case aliens with saucer based homes in an alien environment. The image she made of an example is included.

Dear Linden Lab/Moles/Second Life can you please finish the Twenty Four ( 24 ) region in the northeast of the New Brooke theme, you could make into a park or Forest Area an attraction where not only longtime residents would visit but newcomers as well. Also perhaps an in the theme scenic road is needed North of the stilts but connecting the Aspen theme with the Sakura Theme as well as the Medi. theme. with small bridges and waterways also down south are SSPpeacework, SSPLittleredmound, SSPOutlandish, in the stilts is SSPFullDeck, the ENTIRE North, Norhteast Coast and WESTERN coats of the ranch theme is unfinished.

The current process for Linden Homes selections allows for residents to receive the same parcel repeatedly even when there is an ample supply of available homes for the desired theme. This effectively renders the "5 selections per 24-hour" rule moot, and results in a very frustrating house hunting experience for residents. Please change the process so all available homes are rotated into the active queue on a regular basis. Thank you.

Many/most water canals in Heterocera are too shallow. For example, the canal running through http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sylvata/122/102/12 Likewise, it's continuation through several other regions going eastward. There are many other places.

Suggestion with images, melon, strawberry & banana shapes are included below for more fun based themed Linden homes. Fruit & Vegetable based homes set in garden allotment style setting. These could also include smaller homes for the Dinkie & petite sized community

I love the aestheric of the old Linden Homes, but I understand wanting to discontinue support of unused land. However, I think there would be enough interest to populate the smallest of the legacy Linden Home continents (although I would hope each architectural section was given its info hub which I'm not sure currently exists for all the sections of that smallest continent). I think there are enough people currently using the legacy homes to fill a substantial portion. And at 512^2m the homes can be made available to Plus members.

Locations: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/239/164/65 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Leomund/170/14/56 I've just noticed that the railroad crossing signal devices at the above two locations, on both sides of the crossings, are stuck in a state where the red lights are flashing but the barriers are up. I tested with a locomotive to try and trigger the devices, but nothing changed. When I highlighted transparent surfaces I noticed the "Crossing Trigger" objects are missing from these two crossings for some reason. For example at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/94/82/58 there is a "LDPW - Crossing Trigger" object, and also at the other end of the upcoming crossing at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Leomund/239/75/57 are in place, and the signals at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/48/74/58 work correctly. However the Crossing trigger located in Leomund should probably be placed in Woorermal instead because my test now showed inconsistent results. Eventually the Crossing Trigger at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/94/82/58 also triggered the signals at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/239/164/65 on a third test. However after that, instead of shutting the flashing lights off, they kept flashing when the barrier went up - so this is inconsistent at best. This is not a new issue at these two crossings, they might be doing this ever since they have been placed here. Also as you can see in the second photo, all of these crossing signal objects have a convex hull collision physics shape, which reaches onto the sidewalk, which means in every single railroad crossing in Bellisseria which is equipped with signals, if we walk on the sidewalk, we bump into the invisible obstacles created by the convex hull physics shapes. I know the railroad here is exempt from QA and that's how these objects were able to pass, but it would be nice if at least the 6 objects at these 3 crossings here could be fixed, either set to phantom or replaced with a properly uploaded mesh that has a proper physics shape. (You can upload a custom physics shape in the mesh uploader.)
