The picture I saw of one FC owning almost an entire ward sickened me as much as the next person, but they can't do this. Where I live the city passes new ordinances all the time. How you have to build your house, what kind of fencing you can have, etc. But if you built your house one way, or spent money on a certain type of fence, they can't make you take it down, you're grandfathered in. New homes, or homes getting new permits to make renovations have to follow the new rules.

Players spent time and gil buying houses, furnishing them, etc. I doubt SE could even legally do this, and if they did I honestly wouldn't be shocked if players got together and sued them. They'd have no grounds as to why they took things from paying customers who hadn't violated any rules.
