Still hoping for some form of an improved apartment system.
Seeing sprouts whether alts or truly new players, strengthens my stand on requesting/lobbying for a form of an improved apartment system, with a bigger floor area possibly as wide as the 1st floor of a large estate, with an instanced balcony that allows gardening. So that new players can have some form of private housing, that is a little on par with that of plotted houses. Untill such time that they have that rare opportunity to own a plotted house.
(If SE stands by their decision to maintain the housing districts as a form of rare commodity.)
