That's not to say what we have is perfect. Far from.. But as it stands, the whole "housing issue" is less so entirely SE's fault and slowly evening out to both parties being at fault.

If the Players didn't exploit the system, SE wouldnt've implemented the new system.
If SE didn't implement the new system, new players would never see houses, no matter how much effort they poured in.

A cruel cycle. Especially when "apartments" are usually enough to satisfy peoples building needs. (Though the 200 limit certainly does suck. Just look at what people have done with their apartments! Two stories, lots of comfortable space etc, etc. Just requires some extra thinking. Limitation inspires creativity.)
At what point did I mention a lottery system? Even if I did (and I did not), will be any different from "go to an open house and camp it praying you are the one clicking quick enough"? No matter how much anyone wants to believe they have any control over the current system and "if you work hard enough" you will get one. No, there are zero guarantees you will ever get one with the current system too.
