IMO it would have been better if this was truly a zone like Doma and was rebuilt for the people and after the community as done their part, Yoshida unlocks the housing wards at another part of Ishgard with could be as a thank you for the adventurers that are helping with rebuilding the city.
Well the whole idea behind the housing zones, in terms of story behind them, is that they serve as a spark to the economy.
