Yes, I support unlimited housing. This, however, isn't coming in the near future - the only thing on the horizon that might help is Apartments, which currently don't have yards (or balconies - hint, hint) and thus can't be used for gardening or raising/dyeing your chocobo.

Balconies is a great idea! Add a communal stable for the chocos to the building (optional one-time payment lets you stable your choco) and apartments would start to look very attractive.
At the moment, I can only see people going for them if they have no other option and regarding them as a temporary fix rather than a permanent home.

I'm not sure what the thinking is behind effectively creating a two-tier system where players with houses get to garden and train their chocos and players who buy apartments don't.

I agree, and good idea on the chocobo stables thing.

In any case, since I forgot to state this in my previous reply, my opinion stands: Until a solution for (virtually) unlimited housing with real gardens is implemented there needs to be a legit way for players to buy/sell houses among themselves - not to turn FFXIV into a real-estate simulator, but to prevent scams. Making it so that it's actually impossible to do will only result in angry players.

As a note to the naysayers above: I stand to gain little or nothing from this atm. I don't even have enough gil on hand to purchase a room in an fc house atm, much less to buy an actual house. The only benefit I'd gain from it is the ability to buy a house securely in the future if I did manage to get the gil.
