Land Sale and Tier Act
Rationale
The Confederation of Democratic Simulators is preparing to expand. As we expand we must plan and prepare properly. Before we accept proposals on a new region the submitters need a framework from which to work from. Whether we expand by one region or one hundred regions some constants must be known from the beginning.
We want our tier to be the same throughout the CDS, one tier for full regions and one tier for homestead regions. We want our occupancy level or break-even point to be the same throughout the CDS. With both of these variables set from the beginning everything else falls into place. These two variables determine the public to private land ratio.
1. All CDS owned land on a Full Region placed for sale by the government shall be at the rate of L$1.50 per sqm for a single-prim parcel and L$3.00 per sqm for a double-prim parcel.
2. All CDS owned land on a Homestead Region placed for sale by the government shall be at the rate of L$6.00 per sqm.
3. All Full Regions tier rate is US$0.03 (3cents) per prim.
4. All Homestead Regions tier rate is US$0.06 (6 cents) per prim.
5. The occupancy level or break-even point is 75%.
6. The prim multiplier for all Homestead Regions (excluding Monastery) is 6.
7. Any change in tier pricing implemented by Linden Labs shall result in the CDS adjusting tier by the same percentage no later than the last day of the upcoming month.
(See remarks in reference to CDSL17-01 by Callie and Sorro beginning at: Transcript 22:03:21)
8. New tier pricing will take effect the day region number six is ready to accept citizens.
9. New tier pricing in Neufriestedt, Colonia Nova, Alpine Meadows, and Locus Amoenus will take effect on CDS owned parcels that are NOT owned by citizens the same day.
10. Current tier pricing on NFS, CN, AM, and LA will remain in place until ownership of the parcel changes hands.
11. The Land Sale and Tier Act does not apply to the NL 8-4 Private Development Act.
This next part if for clarification purposes only. Using the above information here is the framework for all new Full Regions and Homestead Regions brought into the CDS.

Single-Prim Regions Private SQM 57,326 Public SQM 8,210. Private Prims 13,100 Public Prims 1,900
