SE's housing system doesn't favor anybody...

[SendohJin]

I still think it is less to do about money and more to do with dogma and saving face.

However it does cost money to hire people with this knowledge. Will SE hire the skills they need? Who knows but their history suggests probably not.

Sounds like money to me.

I think money is secondary. Generally if development really believes it needs to do something the money will be found to do it. With 1.0 being such a failure I think there is a lot of reluctance to take any action that gives the appearance of having failed again. Once thinking like that becomes cultural it is very hard to overcome which I think is the primary reason you don't see any real attempt to fix the housing problem.
