If you were dedicated enough you could get a house, by no life camping a spot to hours end, without sleep while others give up around you. It wasn't ideal at all at the end of the day, but you had that choice. Now you might get lucky but 90% of people won't, and you can't make up for it in any way. Honestly it wouldn't bother me if they just wiped the entire system and replaced it with instanced housing, most neighbourhoods look really ugly with paissa and other mismatching styles anyway.
