It helped a few lucky people and free companies but LARGELY disappoints.

Best most FCs could hope for was a medium plot, as there were very few large plots added in the update, and most were snatched up within a few minutes of the server opening. In my ward all 3 larges were taken by a private owner relocating.

Also, for "future homeowners" all this does is kick the can down the road for another mad race to pick up the small plot scraps leftover.

Housing is still inherently critically flawed and you should NOT be thanking the devs for this.
