Counter-argument is, of course, number of players affected vs number of servers. And I couldn't really say where dev priorities lie. But I would think the best way to demonstrate that something needs to be done is to show there genuinely isn't enough housing, rather than raising complaints while many servers have homeowner shortages more than house shortages.
There are roughly 500k active players. There isn't enough housing for 30% of that. Never mind when you throw fcs in there further increasing the demand for housing. From this alone it is painfully obvious that there is nowhere near enough. The whole thing is so broken that very little can make it noticeably better without an enormous addition of wards or an overhaul.

I'd say this is not very high on the dev's to-do list. Housing is largely cosmetic. Not having a house doesn't stunt your progress in pve or pvp. But that doesn't mean it's not a high priority for players. I hope SE realise this.
