Lets look at some of these thread titles:
"Worst Housing System I have ever seen" (THIS VERY THREAD)
"Housing System cannot be adequately fixed"
"Taking my money elsewhere"
"The Housing System is Trash"
"Dreadful Housing System"
"How can a game that came out in 2004 have instanced housing and this game cannot?"

Just hearing people complain non-stop probably doesn't help one's enthusiasm for work. Definitely remember to appreciate things, just also don't turn it into "we should be thankful of X pitiful thing" lol (not saying anything is pitiful, it was only meant as a fill in the blank sentence). Not trying to slippery slope you as again I don't think you were saying people are not allowed to criticize, but I bet you could also imagine that argument (of needing to be thankful what you have) being used in a sort of white knight environment where everything is gold even if it's really really not "all gold". Actually that's why I made sure to mention I think SE's objects in the housing are fantastic, and I truly mean that. I do want them to know largely I think the game is amazing and I also try to take part in compliment threads, but I also don't want to be afraid to criticize what I feel like should be (obviously objective on what is good/bad lol XD). Of course not every thread that suggests something is criticism either, probably obvious but I felt to add it anyways.
If feels like the vast majority of housing discussions ended up being reduced to owning a house. For those whom already own homes, there's very little to talk about anymore because few actually want to talk about the housing system anymore, the conversation devolves to talking about the darn placards which is only a very small part of the system. It's not that people shouldn't be afraid to complain, it's that the placard complaints have drowned out all the other housing conversations. I'm a big housing advocate but it's just so tiring to read all these repetitive, reductionist rant posts. What is there even to say anymore?
