The issue is that you just don't want an apartment and want an easy method to getting a house, which is a massive slap in the face to those who already went through camping for plots. And then you also want to take away their hard work so you can have a plot? No. That's selfish and you don't deserve to profit off of someone else's efforts.

Like I said Square has two options: make apartments more appealing or punish those who are actively exploiting the system. If they choose to do neither, then I listed the only 3 options us as a community will have. If you don't want to camp or pay for an apartment or an FC then I guess housing will not be for you.

It really grinds my gears how people in this thread are so willing to just throw hundreds of people under the bus and take away their hard work because of a handful of people exploiting the system. It's an incredibly selfish mentality to have. I'm sorry that this housing system isn't to the specifications that some would like it to have, but it used to be worse. I get that camping sucks and that you have to compete with bots, but it's not hard to beat them either. Find a solution that doesn't involve stripping innocent players of their houses that they invested time and millions of gil into (My boyfriend and I have probably sunk well over 100-200m and dozens of hours into our designing our houses and I'll put up one hell of a fight to keep them because of it).
I don't want anything.

I just see that people don't want apartments and SE doesn't have any plan to improve apartments so people want to have apartments. SE wants to keep adding new residences and new wards (including apartments) and people still aren't satisfied because they don't want apartments and houses are limited.

So my suggestion is simply in regard to the housing supply. SE probably won't do it, but it's at least in line with what they're continuing to do. I'm content either way.
