That isn't true. There are a lot of small plots in the game that are very highly sought. Especially those at the beach in Mist and Shirogane. I know several people who relocated their cottage to other cottage plots because they preferred the location due to reasons like scenery, being in the same subdivision as a friend/fc or closer proximity to the mb.
