Your bringing up how Freeza wiped out all life in those planets doesn't make sense. Because you still wouldn't get a decrease in the number of populated planets, since if someone bought that planet, presumably, someone moved in, or else they just bought a rock.
I can imagine that there were some that had been wiped but not sold yet by the time he died, but I can also imagine that once he died, people went and moved in since, y'know, there was nobody to stop them.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariCounterpoint: Frieza's a fucking idiot, who's to say he didn't blow up potential customers who didn't sway his way. I mean, look at what he did to the Saiyans, who were loyal to him up until Frieza blew them the fuck up.
Plus, even if they did survive Frieza's wrath, what would that even be? Like 1 rich person, maybe a rich family or, at best a single company residing on what's essentially a Mad Max barren wasteland? If anything those sold planets are like summer houses.
Exactly

Wait, why would Bulma not want her son to join? She's more adventurous than Chi Chi.
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!So what I got from those pages of debate as that Super is fucked up with power continuity even in itself, and we're still arguing about whether it's flimsy justifications work or not.
Now I'm trying to figure out why if we basically accept the first part, why the second comes down to anymore than "personal preference".

Maybe because the last time her son fought an enemy, everyone everywhere died?

One Strip! One Strip!
You underestimate just how short-sighted and stupid rich people can be. Upper-Class Twit is a trope for a reason, not to mention the host of subtropes that fall under it.

Sure there are. There are 28 clients.
I dunno. It certainly didn't seem the case with the epilogue of Z, and it wouldn't make sense because Gohan actually wanted to study and was good at it, Goten seems about as smart as a rock.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariIt also makes it very strange that Earth is a "backwater" planet, as it's been described for most of the series. That only makes sense if it's an utterly unremarkable place.
If it's one of only 28 planets in the entire universe with sentient life, you'd think that would make it, by default, one of the most important planets in existence.
But whether it was a Toriyama fuckup or a Toei fuckup, I think, remains to be seen. Would depend on whether or not it's in the manga.
Wasn't "there aren't many planets with sentient life on them" straight from that Jaco manga he did?
What part. Jaco begins years before the start of the main series, so if there were that few inhabited planets before Goku landed on Earth, that means Frieza must have really been fucking things up.
One Strip! One Strip!"There aren't that many planets with sentient life" when applied on an universal scale can still be a metric fuckton of planets.
'28' gives us a definite number that is certainly too small to fit with the whole 'Freeza' thing that came before that.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariExactly. The arguments behind the Fermi Paradox suppose that even if a hundredth of a percent of the stars in this galaxy can support life, and a hundredth of a percent of those actually do support life, and a hundreth of a percent of those support intelligent life, there would still be thousands of different intelligent species.
And that's just in one galaxy out of billions upon billions that exist in the universe as a whole.
tl;dr: The universe is really big. Assuming Dragonball's universes are comparable in size to the real one (which I think most of us did before recent revelations), that's simply an absurdly low number of inhabited planets.

Thoughts on stuff:
Essentially, Universe 7 needs to get their shit together if they want their mortal level to rise.
