But Newland City, aside from having a link to Newland Desert (Ew!) doesn't appear to offer anything to the Clans. Borealis is still open and isn't a problem since a Grid point was added for that town (which I think is a much more beautiful city) and from there, Stret West Bank is just on the other side of the whompa.
Personally, the only reason I go to Newland City is to use a particular mission terminal that I like so I can find missions in Home, but from what I have heard, Clanners use a different terminal in another town to get the same results that I do. I even recall someone once saying that Newland City is usually filled with just Omnis and Neutrals with few Clanners wandering in (I've never bothered to take a census, so that might be wrong since it's just something I overheard someone say once).
So, what is all the fuss about? Outside of those who want planetwide peace, most of this seems to be about pride or jealousy or something. Somebody please explain it to me.
