For WoW refugees. What was not announced?

That being said while WoW garrisons were very flawed and were not housing at all (for non WoW players it was basically a fort with very little customisation, you didn't even have your own bed) they did ensure every player could have one on every single character. No one had to worry about someone else getting one first. They at least got that much right.

To be fair, FFXIV still have apartments.

That said, garrison is just too different from normal housing as it seems to have more direct gameplay implications unlike regular housing.

I honestly would welcome the new 14 farm to be an expansion on the Garrison system. I "farm" anyway via retainers. I would love to have my fishing retainer to have a little station, botanist and miner alike. The garrison sucked because it took the job of crafting away from those sub skills. FF14 has fully fleshed crafting jobs, and if designed well, I think a garrison like feature could mesh really well.
