BYE FC Exclusivity for this round. New housing Indo.

The question is how many FC houses are servicing only one person (even if that person has multiple characters in the FC).

And I doubt anyone thinks that every FC house is for a single person. But certainly there are a large number of FC houses that are that way. I saw several last fall when I was doing a world wide census. It would be interesting to see how many of them remain that way. If players had some concrete data about membership of FCs with houses, it could silence most of the concerns - or increase them.

Based on the data mass extracted by Mew directly from the lodestone for August 2020:

Single ownership FC houses with plots make up 7,390 total plots out of 107,092 total plots owned by FCs across all worlds (which is 30% of all houses available in the entire world).
That means only 7% of all existing FC owned plots are single-owner FC plots. At the same time, single owner FC plots make up 2% of all 342,720 plots across all worlds.

If we expand and look at that same data for FCs with 1-3 people total, the total number of FC's with a roster ranging from 1 to 3 people make up 21,209 FCs that hold plots.
That means just under 20% of all existing FC owned plots are owned by FCs with a roster of 1-3 characters. Meaning FCs with a roster of 1-3 characters make up only 6% of all 342,720 plots across all worlds.

Conclusion: These numbers show that shell FCs are too insignificant to be a leading cause of housing shortages. This data was extracted directly from lodestone as of last month.
