How to fix the housing crisis!

[Parisstilton]

I'm all for everyone having a house but I don't want mine removed from my ward as I enjoy hanging out with my neighbours. Since I moved in I've made several new friends this way.
I think they should definitely add more places especially for FC. They should also give people who have an apartment access to a garden in some way.
Also houses are coming up for demo on Balmung you just have to be prepared to do nothing but stalk the wards every hour until you find one which is what I did for 3 weeks lol Because they go so quickly a lot of people never see the plots so they think they never come up. You do have to be quick though as there is usually lots of competition. I realise this is not an ideal situation and I totally agree that it needs fixing but just wanted to let people know that it is still possible to get a house here legally with a bit of luck and extra effort

I agree with all of this! The housing wards being an open community is how I've made a number of friends, found my FC, and started my business.

Stalking the wards can be frustrating, but you CAN find what you're looking for. I was watching for weeks as well on Exodus; while I was playing, checking every hour, on the hour. I found my mansion this way, and before I had the cash myself (and was just doing market research) I saw another two mansions come up (for a total of one in each housing district). I've also seen innumerable smalls, and several mediums, in this time. You just have to be willing to put in the effort.
