Every 'solution' that SE has tried to fix limited ward housing with has made access worse for the majority of players.

1. Ward housing consumes more server resources than fully instanced housing.
2. Adding new wards is not a scalable, long-term solution as long as server populations keep increasing.
3. RMT housing sales are profitable because of the arbitrary, artificial scarcity that SE imposed with limited ward housing.
4. SE had initially stated that there would be no auto-demolition. Auto-demolition is a consequence of not being far-sighted.
5. Yoshi P wants a 'neighbourhood feeling' but I think a lot of players barely see their neighbors in wards.
6. Having a fully instanced housing system in the form of improved apartments or an entirely new system, alongside the existing ward housing seems to be the best compromise to make multiple groups of players happy.

Neighborhoods are a waste of resources - Yoshi-P has got to understand, he can't be THAT dense. Neighborhoods are not packed or crowded or even active unless you have an RP venue.

Most Players want their own house/ yard.

Apartments and FC rooms are too limited (and they should be evenly prices since neither offer better perks.)

A fully instanced system, that allows a player to fully customize and make their own personal paradise, that also allows friends to visit is the answer.
OR he can keep messing up and giving us more wards that are mostly dedicated to FCs.

FFXIV is polished enough that when there is an issue, it's a giant GLARING issue- like housing.
