The other real problem with this is say you've got an FC of four (as that's the number of signatures needed to create the FC), and going with the restrictions at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ , how do you go about deleting the house due to membership and how much grace period do you give an FC before they lose their house?
Usually that's done with "grandfather" clauses. People who already own housing would not apply to the new rules. However relocating or losing the plot should void that clause.
