Considering we have a mb and chocobo stable right outside apartment entrance, this might not change much even though it's nice to have. Your second point might helps though. Remind me about one of the Christmas event where placing those trees with the Sun/Moon/Star out in the yard can help out other players. Maybe something along that line?
