I would pay good money to be able to get into the minds of the developers to get a glimpse of why they appear to be so stubborn about dealing with the housing issue. It's touted as a major feature of this game and yet so few people are allowed to enjoy it. Before anyone chimes in and says "but you could get an apartment", apartments are but a pale shadow of what houses are. There is so much more that you can do with a house that you can not do with an apartment. Even internally, houses are vastly more customizable than apartments currently are.
