    Remove wards, they isolate players between them. Put everyone in ONE "ward":

    Instance the plots themselves so:
    1. Every plot can have many owners. This increases the chance of seeing more players in the neighborhood, since they will all be in one "ward", not spread across 21 of them.

    2. Eliminate the multiple wards, since they're not needed with instanced plots.

    3. When you arrive, your plot contents are visible, but you can select other owners' content from the placard (with thumbnails please. This will allow you to customize the appearance of your immediate neighborhood (Hate / love Paissa houses?).

    4. Your plot is always loaded when you arrive. No load screens when entering the yard or house. Other plots would cause load screens on entry since preloading them all would probably take too much time. Still, selected yard appearances would have to preload so you'd see them when outside.

    5. Since the house and plot are one instance, you could have real windows, open doors to walk out onto a patio / deck with no load screen.

    6. Ideally, when in your yard you should be able to see everyone on the street (Assuming it's possible to code it.)

    Of course, everyone would just buy copies of the most desirable plots, but it could be spread out by raising the prices of ones with many owners, and reducing the price of the others.

    One problem though: With many more house owners, SE would need to add more storage to hold the content, and pay to maintain it. I suppose they could make it so everyone can buy one small plot for just Gil, but larger ones (containing more stuff) would add to your sub fee (like extra retainers).

    And, add farms. Allow us to completely cover a plot with garden patches with no house (or just a tiny garden shed for storage). I don't do housing myself because I can't stand having my camera pushed in to nearly first person view all the time, but if I could do everything outside, I'd go for it.
