In case anyone's interested I just looked up the OP on Lodestone, his FC is three people!

Sorry OP but you're part of the problem here. A three person FC doesn't need a M or L house either and, regardless of size, I'd bet a house belonging to such a small FC would most likely be empty most of the time anyway.

Honestly, I'd have some sympathy for larger FCs having difficulty getting a house but a three person FC is no way anymore deserving than an individual.
