Life isnt fair. And the housing system certainly isnt "fair" or "good" either.
But letting FCs have first pick is the right choice - there is special FC-content gated behind housing. There are FC-rooms and apartments for individuals.

SE apparently cant give us what we want - unlimited housing - because of the way their system is set up. And they've made it very clear that thats not gonna change - even though they're apparently looking into medium and large apartments, so basically instances houses and mansions. Right now its not possible for everyone to have a house - and no matter how much we cry and complain about it, it wont magically change tomorrow. They're working on it. Being asked to be patient sucks, I know that. But this horse is dead. We dont need a new thread beating it everyday...
