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

Is it fair to those that waited this long, to be sat in a corner and watch current Home Owners come in a snatch up possible new plots in the next expansion all because "it's fair" to those who have to pay more?

You still have a chance to get in on the Housing market—even if you have to “settle for a small”, you will still have a house, and be able to take advantage of the Relocation feature in the future, because I doubt that it’s going to go away any time soon. You’re just choosing not to, and I personally don’t understand why, except out of this idea that you don’t want to settle for having a small house when you want a medium, which you stated in an earlier post:

I'll use myself as an example:

I want to buy a Medium House. . . .I'm not saying everyone is looking to buy a bigger house but it now takes away more options from me when others upgrade their house or shuffle around houses because everyone who owns a house, is free to do it with no restriction. The house I want to get, may no longer be an option because the plots I had an eye for, are taken now, leaving a lot more small plots open or for me to now look into other areas that might still have larger houses available. This isn't fair to individuals who were looking to buy a bigger house. We still gotta compete with other individuals who are also looking to buy a bigger house, with now less options. . . .then to those who don't have a house, are left with leftovers and it may not be exactly what you want. While I'm not force to buy a Small House, I'm also not gonna just buy any random house to just have it.

But again, if you want more chances at mediums in the game, advocate instead for upping the number of medium plots, rather than advocate for taking plots away from people. You are not more entitled to house than the next person. Say you wanted Plot 11 in the Lavender Beds, or Plot 30 in Shirogane. Well, I’m sorry, but you’re not entitled to take it from whoever owns it, just like they wouldn’t be entitled to take it from you if the roles were reversed.


I also want to point out that not everyone is going to relocate either if/when more housing is added in the future. Sure, there were people upgrading with Shirogane and 4.2’s Housing release, but the vast majority stayed right where they were originally (at least on my server—several plots in the old wards may have opened up, but it was not the majority of them). I know when the next wave of housing comes along, I won’t be relocating my personal. I wouldn’t trade Lavender Beds, Plot 41 for anything.
