Did the housing moratorium have to have THIS week?

[Snat]

The update today means that no one can buy individual housing at all until the moratorium is lifted in what will most likely be two weeks. Housing transfer can still take place, but not purchasing.

FCs can buy houses though. Just not people.

I keep reading that we will be able to relocate but you got a source for it? I'm finding it a bit hard to believe that people will be able to locate their houses while not allowing those without houses to buy one (unless you are an FC ofc).
