I legit lol'd at this. Why? Because the FC I'm in had to pay $90 mil gil for our large back before the housing prices were reduced. So people and FCs now already have it easier to get a house in regards to gil (which is also far easier to obtain than it was back when housing costs were so much more). I don't think anyone in the FC fussed about that. We had to battle to get housing still - it happened during the great Christmas demo several years ago. It was demos happening (for the first time ever) on all worlds on Christmas day, not all servers went at the same time. And when houses popped on your server it was a literal race with others to secure a plot.

Also when I got my personal it was so super easy to get. I had my pick of houses. It was well before housing prices were reduced and when there were a ton of plots open on all the servers. It's much more difficult now to get a house than it was back then. I would LOVE if SE would open it up so anyone who wants a house - personal or FC - can have one. I'm not going to shake my fist and say "back in my day... and these whippersnappers just get a house so easy and at half the price I did".
