Unless every plot has the exact same view with the exact same amenities located at the exact same distance from the plot, plots will fall into subjective categories of greater or less desirability depending on what's important to the individual player. Some players want an unobstructed scenic view of the beach or waterfall or whatever from their yard. Others want their house tucked away in a corner where other players are unlikely to go. Still others want to have a MB and Summoning Bell right next to their property for convenience.

If you don't care where your house is located, why isn't an apartment sufficient for you?It's a space to decorate and if you have multiple characters on the same world, you can get their apartments in the same building to have a space equal to or bigger than a small house for a fraction of the price. You can grow anything you can grow in a garden patch plus the decorative flowers (they only grow in flowerpots), you just can't cross breed for new seeds.

If you get this angry at someone who relocates, I hate to think how angry you're going to get when someone else buys the plot you were camping. In both cases, nothing was gained for your time spent but at least the relocator presents you with another chance to buy. Another buyer leaves you with nothing.

Again, your anger is misplaced. It's not other players that are the problem. It is the lack of houses compared to the number of players that want to own and that is something only SE controls. Don't let SE off the hook by claiming it's other players that are at fault for you not having a house.
I'm not letting SE off the hook, but I'm not going to let selfish players off the hook either.

If my apartment had an outside I could decorate, complete with space for a garden, then I wouldn't care about a house. It does not. Two flowerpots that can't be used for cross-breeding isn't the same as a garden. I want access to the same content as other players, as I'm paying the same amount as they are paying. I'm sadly unsurprised by the elitist gatekeeping going on among the player base when it comes to housing.
