To others:
I keep seeing people saying "Lottery will just increase bots" and "lottery will just trade problems" but the brass tacks is that -any system that is more healthy for the player is better than what we currently have-. You can tell me that 99 bots put in lotto tickets for a plot and if I even have a 1/100 chance of getting it, that is still better than sitting for hours at a placard and not getting it anyway. Like, I really don't know what's going on in people's lives that they think that spending -literal days- of their lives clicking a placard is better than doing anything else, but saying that a lottery is worse than that just... Boggles my mind. I would rather play my state's lottery than keep my hand on a car in the hopes that I'm conveniently the one stubborn enough (and lucky enough) to get it.
So then wouldn't it be better to get rid of housing altogether rather than keep dangling it in front of players who have no better chance of getting the house than they have of winning a lottery in real life?

At least with the current system, there will be a player who has the house within a day of it becoming available. With a lottery, houses would sit empty for weeks or months before someone finally got the same number the system randomly cranks out as the winning number. You'd have a massively pissed off player base because of all the houses sitting there empty without any owner at all.
