Disappointed by last housing rush

[Penthea]

Again, relocators didn't take houses from first timers.

The new wards brought 720 new houses. If 400 people relocate, that leaves 320 houses in new wards, and 400 in old wards. 400+320 = 720, so no houses are consumed by relocating.

If anything, relocations increase access to housing for new players. 72 of the 720 new houses are larges, costing 40-50 million gil each. It is unlikely that a first-time home buyer has 50 million gil available. So changing these 72 open larges into 72 more open smalls actually helps first-time buyers.

This doesn't mean much to someone who can't get a house because of the placard timer. I don't agree with suspending relocation but I understand the problem it presents to first time buyers who aim to buy in new wards so they can avoid the placard timer.
