User blog comment:Oioiaussie/Buy playgrounds? A common misconception!/@comment-4994728-20120601035320

Thank you Oioiaussie, I'm at a lower level than the rest of you but I prefer the VFT too. I had shared a slightly different calculation on WieQuadrat's talk page when I joined this wiki (coin return/minute/size where VFT = 0.42, Playground = 0.14 and the Bright Street Lamp = 1.39). VFT positives are: 1. higher coin return; 2. don't have the 8 maximum limit that the street/firefly lamps have; 3. I can have a life with 8 hour collection; 4. easier to fit in spaces or hide; 5. one house slot (for those cheaper theme stores that provide a good return on first level resource). I think the playground is an ugly waste of space and would rather save coin for a VFT instead of buying the uglier playground, then paying more later to replace it.
