Some people like playing multiple characters, whether it be for RP, gear up more then one job a time (cause of the lockout), or have more the 3 specialist crafts. Not to share the account.

Indeed. I have 3 characters because I wanted to experience all 3 starting cities' storylines. And I happen to like all my toons, so I play all of them. It's a bonus incentive for me to keep playing all 3 due to the specialist limitations. Furthermore, for RP reasons, my characters would reside in different areas. So, I am very against the idea of limiting housing to 1 per account, especially as we cannot share houses with our alts.
The real solution is to have it available for everyone. If they were to limit the housing to 1 per account, it would just be a band-aid--like the relinquishing house implementation. The population is simply too high for what little they set aside.
