Not being snippy at you, but this is part of the problem I feel.

While I agree in principle that getting housing should be difficult in order for it to be an accomplishment, all we really did to get our 6 or so houses in our FC was be in the right place at the right time. I did nothing special to get mine and believe any sense of superiority derived from having a house vs not having is artificial. It just so happened I was at home on a day off when something opened up.
