They've always kept housing available to between 30-50% of server population depending on how populated your server is that's pretty fair.
IMO the only issue is the stupid placard spamming, that has to go it's ridiculous.

Not being able to get a house is as normal as not being able to get feast rewards for being in the top 100. Except it's easier to get housing than that, but people still complain because they don't understand it's pvp or are unwilling to accept it as a valid design.
On bigger servers it is probably quite impossible to get a house simply by the amount of players on it and the small amount of houses in turn. Time is also not something which counts here. You can barely spent any time looking for a house and just get lucky while the one that looked for it for a long time will lose out. And if new wards are coming you can take a break from work or be home without ever having spent time into getting one and get the nicest one while the other person will be locked out thanks to a server issue.

Also you forget that these 30-50% only includes solo players but people can also have FCs which can also buy houses. Suddenly its nost such a fair number anymore and will turn even more bad with increasing amount of players.

If the devs want housing to be limited then dont give out housing items as event and quest rewards..thats just mean imo. Here have something which you might never be able to use as a reward for doing that quests..

And lets not talk about top 100 in pvp..a mode which had enough people cheating in it..(though the same can be said for housing too..which people still owning whole wards because of playing the system and there is one guy who now also owns nearly two full wards in two districts..)
