Plot migration and why the housing problem persists, SE please start listening.

It really sucks when you don’t get the plot you want. I know that; I’ve been there. But I still think that at least owning a house gives you a leg-up/an advantage later on, especially with the new relocation feature added. It may not be ideal, but, for me personally, if the choice is between “not having a house” and “not having my dream house but still at least having one”, I would take the latter. I also think a better response is “We should advocate for increased numbers of larges/mediums” rather than “Take away the larges/mediums from the people that relocated because I want their plot”.

This, just so much this. I got a small in Shirogane in 4.1 because I wasn't able to attain a medium and didn't care for a large (far too large for just me and the wife, while medium was the right size for what we wanted to do with it). That small, we worked on it, we made it beautiful and we adored it, but we just couldn't do everything that we dreamed of. I knew I was gonna try and relocate right after buying it, because Medium was a dream and it would open up the nice little plot we had for someone else to enjoy. If we failed on another Medium, then at least we had this small which we still enjoyed.

Come 4.2, I managed to relocate to the dream medium plot after spamming the world button and cancel like crazy when maint was ending. Now my dream is a reality and I couldn't be happier, and someone else can enjoy the little plot we had before, even if it isn't their dream, just like us, and can use it to make the attempts on their dream, again just like we did.

In my honest opinion, if people choose the former on that choice, they really don't deserve a house.
