On a side note, I think all those proposing punitive measures for house owners: monthly rent, decorations must be changed regularly, up to a certain standard etc. are going to be very sorry if all that stuff is implemented and they finally get a house (fortunately, I think the devs have more sense). Taking houses away from existing owners or making keeping a house an expensive chore might ease some people's resentment in the short-term but it's not going to solve anything.
