Houses in Second Life

During my sail boat tour of a new sim in SL last night, my friend was trying to get ideas for his new house. He just split up with his SL girlfriend, and they had owned land together...they divided that in half, but she got the house that they'd already worked on. To be honest, it looked like one of those Orlando villas I've seen on my trips down there. Not sure how he's going to top that...and he's asked me to help him find a house. Talk about pressure! Well, okay...maybe not that much pressure, but I do want to help him...if it's something he needs to do in order to get over the breakup. Who knew you could develop such strong relationships in a virtual society?
