The issue is implementation on the older devices with limited capacity and memory.
It can easily be solved by discontinue the game on those devices and add strip after strip of land on the the latest models - all you have to do to continue playing is to buy a new device.
However, this is not something most players and the developers want to happen, so they struggle to try to add more land on all devices without having to discontinue the game on any of them...
A crammed town on your current device or forced to buy a new device with plenty of land?
