Support for joining or dividing land in Nautilus, Bay City and Horizons

I think being able to join/divide lands in those parts of mainland (via support ticket with conditions) could benefit some users as not everyone wants a 1024 or group of lands to have something bigger.
Some benefits of this include the following
1 Show in search would be much improved on such groups of lands. 1 search and accurate traffic ranking for shops etc
2 Privacy settings would be improved especially for show avatars and access management where currently you would not see an avatar on other side of a building with show avatars unchecked and only 1 access list to manage.
3 Setting names, descriptions and land pictures would be far more easy.
Argument from LL when I have asked in past has been.
The mainland regions with double land impact in the parcels do not allow terraforming changes, including joining or subdividing the parcels as changes may cause accidental object returns elsewhere in the region.
But this is not correct as joining/ dividing wont change the total prim usage/capacity Only a change of owner of part would cause any items to be returned and only on your own land. Also many mainland bonus prim sims do allow join/divide.
Is also the issue of fairness as today an already joined plot was sold at auction and some others have been joined in the past and todays auction wouldn't have fitted in my proposed rules.
As for the rules.
1 All joining/dividing in the suggested regions would only be allowed via support ticket and done at LL discretion.
2 parcels should not be joined if they directly boarder other peoples land. Examples if you own 2 of a group of 4 you cant join if it will be bordering other peoples land but if you have a pair barely touching another land it could be joined (at LL discretion)
3 You can't have land split into smaller bits that where originally available in the sim.

Hello Eva! Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, the object bonus applied in these regions is why the parcels cannot be joined or subdivided. However, if you own more than one parcel within a region, the land impact is shared between them. A caveat - the parcel capacity does not change, so take care to check each parcel's capacity if you need to make any ownership changes or abandon a parcel. You may find capacity and impact information in the About Land panel, under the Objects tab.
Here is an example of shared land impact:

LL have said no chance and will split existing joined lands as they get the chance.

Horizons was the predecessor test for Linden Homes. Each parcel has a Mailbox, like a Linden Home, with options to rez many styles of buildings without consuming land impact. Dividing/joining cannot work with those parcels; the layout and rotation of those homes is specific to the placement of the parcel boundaries.
Maybe the other areas you mentioned could work.

Never happening without lindenlab ownership replacement with likeminded people to yourself. Until then, this is a talking to the wall endeavour, like thousands of ideas that went before over the last 20 years.
