Remove private housing from the game. Free Companies need prioity

[Penthea]

There is no advantage or perks to owning a private house other than just to.

Wrong. If you want to do cross-planting and all you have access to is a fc house, you may be unable to do any at all. The fc might be too big to allow someone so much time to do that (it can take several weeks to produce a specific seed) or you simply might not have the privs to do so.

There is no reason for one player to own a medium or a large plot either...

Wrong again. The amount of gardening patches you can have is dictated by your house size. Cross-planting is significantly faster and more convenient if you have more than one gardening patch. My personal house is a medium solely because of the gardening patches. If there was no restriction on how many you can have I would have a cottage instead. All my favourite plot locations are for cottages.

Sorry SE you shot yourself in the foot on this one and to the players with a private house just buy a house in real life if you want one. Leave the housing to Free Companies who need one and can actually use them or just start a Free Company and buy one then.....

Removing private house ownership would result in a dramatic rise in one-man fcs owned by players who want a private house. The problem you want solved would merely change and not be solved. There are already players who own houses in this manner without your proposed restriction.

Once again I am tired of seeing people say they deserve a private house when there is no reason to own one at all.

And I'm tired of people thinking giving house furnishing permissions to only fc leaders, while everyone else would be stuck with only a fc room or apartment, is somehow okay.

I agree the housing system is awful but alienating a gigantic amount of the player population is not the way to fix it.
