There has been some debate as to whether the landscape does or does notpredict low energy supersymmetry. We argue that under rather mild assumptions,the landscape seems to favor such breaking, quite possibly at a very low scale.Some of the issues which must be addressed in order to settle these questionsare the relative frequency with which tree level and non-perturbative effectsgenerate expectation values for auxillary fields and the superpotential, aswell as the likelihood of both $R$- and non-$R$ discrete or accidentalsymmetries. Alternate scenarios with warped compactifications or large extradimensions are also discussed.Comment: latex, 19 page
