Isn't it safe to assume more wards have to be added?

Someone got a link to a reliable source about this Ishgard housing ? I keep seeing some people convinced that it will come, but the best i did see is SE saying something like "yes, we know that players want Ishgard to be more alive... yes, we know that players would like to live here..." when talking of the upcoming restoration. Not "yes there will be Ishgard housing in Shadowbringers". Did i miss something or are players hyping themselves too much on some rumors like the dancer being a healer ?

There's nothing but that small clip with the emphasis put on the "live in Ishgard" part that I know of. With the new expansion taking place in a different world, they may have wanted to keep player housing on the source world and the crafter/gatherer rebuilding process being Ishgard instead of something in the new area is probably their means of introducing the reasoning behind Ishgard suddenly having a home for adventurers. It's completely possible they're toying with us, but I do think they knew exactly what and how they were saying that bit on Ishgard.

The Shadowbringers site updated on April 11th. In the section about the restoration of the Holy See it says we will get a new area/ neighborhood/ district depending on the translations (in all but the English translation). (translations courtesy of Google translate)

French - A thousand years of war against the dragons have left deep scars on the walls of the Holy City and in the hearts of its inhabitants. This dark page is however turning, while the Ishgardais gradually learn to cohabit with their neighbors with scales. Symbol of this renewal, a brand new neighborhood will see the light of day. His name: Azurée.

Japanese - The dragon poetry war, which lasted for a thousand years, left a very deep scar in the religious city "Ishgard". But still, people are embroiled in accepting the change of harmony with the dragon and start moving toward tomorrow. It was such a time that the development of the new area "Shenten" was announced as a symbol of reconstruction.

German - The thousand-year-long Dragon War is over, but its traces are still visible in the holy city of Ishgard. The dragons and the Ishgarder have settled their dispute and are now working for a common future. A new district is to be built to bring prosperity and peace to the Holy City.

English - The Dragonsong War has long since ended, but its scars yet remain. As man and dragon work together to rebuild the Holy See, the people of Ishgard have come to find they want for helping hands...

None of that sounds like adding a housing district to me. It sounds more like just adding a new section to the city, such as a Jeweled Crozier.

It wouldn't make sense for a new district reserved as housing for foreigner adventurers to be embraced as any sort of positive symbol by the residents of Ishgard,

I don't doubt that there is some sort of housing planned. That comment during the NA FanFest was pretty pointed. I just don't think that page on the expac website is referring to it.
