The devs are actually doing a great job

I actually do think they're doing a great job with housing, in that they're adding a ton of diverse furnishings and doing their best to cater to player's desires.

But no one could argue that they didn't completely screw the pooch when they combined individual housing with FC housing. It was a terrible mistake, they've been paying for it ever since, and there's no way to fix it.

This. Personal housing should have been handled differently considering it hasn't done anything but prevent FCs from having access to housing by taking over more than half of the available plots on top of dramatically reducing the entry fee to housing. Higher demand and lower prices, what a great idea...

I agree with everything about this. They really shouldn't have combined FC and personal housing.

IMO the best thing they could do now is introduce a system more suited for personal housing (instanced) and allow players to move their houses into it if they wish. Include incentives like purchasable upgrades and more yard space, and you'll have a lot of players moving, freeing up more space in the wards for those who prefer neighborhoods.
