That'd be the ideal. Next best thing would be 80 wards. Best thing for the current system, I still think, is this price increase.

Regarding 'it doesn't kill camping':
It does, though. I'm proposing an end to the housing timer, along with this price change. These 40m smalls, 150m mediums, and 500m larges would be walk-up-and-buy.

Regarding 'It doesn't kill resale':
It does, though. If a reseller purchases a small for 40m, he now has to find someone willing to pay him significantly more than 40 million and then also pay the placard another 40 million.

The price you gave may just be wall-spaghetti numbers, but no one is paying 100 million gil for small houses. Mediums do sell for that, but in this case mediums would be 150m at the placard. So a reseller would need to find someone willing to spend 330m+ to get into a medium house.
