Why is there still no good solution to the housing shortage?

[Seraphor]

All of that however does not change what people want. You're incorrect to say that's what people want (which is what Sera said). If I want a red apple but you serve me a plum because that's all you can do, it's obviously and inconvertibly not what I asked for. It still might be the best that can be done, and some people will be like "you know what, thank you", and perhaps the likely solution (it does seem likely we'd have those restrictions if they were forced to get it done, especially if with limited time), but it is just factually incorrect to suggest that's what people are asking for.

Lets try and clear this misunderstanding up.

When I say "that's what you're asking for" what I mean is, "that's what you're going to get if you ask for this."

To take your apple/plum analogy, it's more like:

"I love apples, I really want to have an apple, it's the only fruit I like the taste of, but I really want a a soft purple apple with a big seed in the middle. I'm going to constantly ask for soft purple fruit with a big seed in the middle. But I want it to be an apple."

You keep asking for your soft purple fruit, you're going to get a plum.

"That's not what I asked for, I asked for an apple."

No you didn't.

So what I'm saying is... you don't understand what it is you're asking for.

Instanced housing! I want Instanced housing! Yeah everyone wants their own person housing instance! When are we getting instanced housing.
For years and years these requests come in, and if they take them seriously, eventually we're going to get instanced housing via duty instances.
