    In the current set up it's impractical anyway because there's no mechanism for specifying what kind of shop moves into any particular space… and there's no mechanism for letting it evolve voluntarily because people can't trade stores… and we can't have nice things like that because flippers gonna flip even if they must invent a black market for it. The scale thing would manage itself if such a voluntary arts district were possible, so maybe just one half of a region gets favored by artists. But without some "encouragement" of others to move elsewhere it might be hard to get a "pure" enough arts district to even be detectable. (And I suspect not all those "others" will be eager to flee the foot traffic the arts district just might attract.) Another practicality: Not all art really needs all those prims and all that space. Maybe the Belli Arts District "theme" would benefit from multiple plot sizes in the same region, as with the Trailers. Or maybe Mainland is just the right place for an Arts District. For one thing, most starving artists can't really afford the free gallery space behind the P+ gate. So I guess the practical objective remains: sell free gallery space to those who can afford it.

    Yep. But this may require some proactive movement on LL's part Which . . .

    There will be more in the future, when more business regions will roll out IMHO. And an art galleries lane in some regions would be cool too, n'est-ce pas?

    I'm not against the idea of an art gallery district at all -- on the contrary. I think it would be cool as hell. But I'm not sure how the numbers work out. I currently know of 17 galleries. No region I know of has more than 2 galleries. I'm sure there are a few more, but 28, a full region's worth? I'm more doubtful. And it would not be good to be a motorcycle store embedded in an overwhelmingly gallery-themed region. I like the idea, and I'm pretty sure we could make a gallery region lively and fun. But I don't know that it works in practical terms.
