Why Removing Houses from inactive is NOT a solution.

[Cutie_McSnuggles]

OP is right. And trying to judge how active a house is based on how often you see them is questionable, unless you're camping outside their house 24/7.

If a system is ever implement to take away housing from inactive characters you'll be surprised how many people come out of the woodwork to protect their investment.

OP is also right that it's a short sighted solution. There is still too little housing for the amount of people that are interested. What we need to be pushing for is more availability, not taking it away from people.

Edit:
What I'd really like to see is a hybrid system. If they can't give us enough wards to meet demand, then let people who want to, have instanced houses.

That right there is enough to make it worth doing, so the housing districts can see some activity.
