Easy housing/ward sollution
Instead of adding new wards of the same "mistake" please add a new type of ward where every plot is capable of holding a small, medium or large house.
This way people won't have to fight over it or have a lottery and knowing that today several small plots are already vacated (not enough people want one) it would enable everyone to get a house without the need of more wards.
Think about it.. you buy a plot, buy a cottage.... get enough money.. upgrade to medium... get even more money... upgrade to a mansion.. this way when you find the perfect plot you won't have to ever think about moving again. The lottery can be maintained for when someone loses a house and people want that location.
SE Can even decide to build a new plot from scratch and place the housing in a way so no house feels out of place. Image a mirror version of the mist where you have the housing on an island with 4 rows of housing and on each side is a beach and sea. That way no one has to run far to get that sweet experience. They can easily do something similar to all housing wards.
