honestly lots of people have come up with ideas that would help the housing system. even changing the way tenants worked for example.. if they actually made plots shared ownerships instead of the current tenant system you'd find a lot more freed up plots because a lot ofpeople would be more willing to share. the reason they dont is because teneants have no powers and can't even reset the demo timers. so they're not going t oinvest in a property thats tied to another players sub.

I own a medium for example and 3of my friends also own mediums scattered around. all have said there a bit big for one person but smalls are too small. and we cannot share a house because if something happens that causes one of us to be unable to play for a few weeks we'd all risk ending up homeless. if we could actually share the plot and allow any one of us to reset the demo timer or such then there's 3 extra medium plots available for other people on our server. and i know more than a few groups of friends who would be of a similar mindset.

something like this would also fit better into yoshis frequent statement of you can take breaks if you want.. because if the porperty was shared amoung 4 of us and 2 of us took a break for 3 months our home would still be safe when we returned. (assuming at least one of the other 2 were still using it)

a proper and actually viable sharing system would free up a lot of plots for other players
