Square should get its own house in order

[Elamys]

And that's a personal assumption. There have been 1 person/low level owner FCs since housing first existed. People have them for multiple reasons, gardens, airships (and now submarines), charging aetherial wheels, roleplay...

Level 1 characters cannot contribute materials to the workshop.

So I might be misunderstanding this statement, but are you basically saying ANY FC could therefore be used for flipping? Any FC could also NOT be used for flipping too?

A level 1 character owning a solo FC is probably going to be used for flipping. But one could just as easily make an FC and get a house for the purpose of flipping on a high level character too. But there's also a likelier possibility that they could be using the house as merely a personal home.
