Your suggestion is to take away earned in-game rewards, destroying hours of player effort for little to no reward. You admitted that the root of the problem isn't alt houses, as if it wasn't obvious. We've already talked about the math. 20,220 houses too few is not going to be helped at all based on removing however many of the ~3780 player houses are alt owned. Even if half of all personal houses were owned by alts (which they aren't) we would gain about 1,890 personals, reducing homelessness by 9%. If applying the change retroactively made sense, it would have already been done. But applying it retroactively hurts players, and solves nothing.

Having the change applied in the future prevents alts from getting in the way of mains when the new wards come about. The new wards are the solution, not alienating a small group of loyal players in order to free up a couple tiny corners of existing wards. If house hoarding is truly a concern of yours, you really need to be petitioning for 8 FCs per account to be lessened. That's the one that's still perfectly possible, with no end in sight.
