This is absolutely no excuse not to improve a system. It shouldn't be that hard to get a house. You'd still be horribly affecting your ability to sell houses to someone if that person didn't already had a plot to relocate. That issue would still be exactly as solved as it is right now. It wouldn't make anything easier to try and SELL the house. It would just be easier to BUY a fresh plot.
