I'll be serious though as i did read through your points although I am dyslexic, so can't remember names easily...

Yoshi P wants the neighbourhood feel, and I agree. It's far from perfect on most wards, but that's likely down to the fact that people aren't playing the game, hence why you need auto demolition. I myself at 2 of my houses have really nice and friendly neighbours I interact with quite often, actually friends with a few of them and have been since I moved in.

Housing is an entirely optional (and enjoyable) part of the game (they need to sort out the gardening and cross breeding as that is gate keeping) as well as improve on numerous things like producing furniture sets rather than crap. (no matching kitchen sets) This optional part of the game is one of the few money sinks and the auto demolition is what results in the turn over of housing. IF you aren't using it for what ever reason, why should you keep it. As per your argument about auto demolition being introduced post housing, then I present you this argument. Housing should be restricted to Free Companies only as it was for FCs only at the start. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...926bda296b64a2

They NEED to expand on apartments even if it costs them a lot of dev time (money). As it currently stands, housing is featured as an integral part of the game but completely half baked and neglects the majority of the player base.

The islands announcement was completely anti climatic personally as it could have been a solution for players without houses to access gardening and decorating housing...but no. It's a completely separate and unrelated gameplay loop. Yoshi P may have turned around FF14 to be one of the best MMOs on the market despite its many UX issues. But his/SE's ideals and tight purse strings are getting in the way of players being able to enjoy the game fully. Just look how limited furniture placing is for housing as an example which is an artificial game engine restriction compared to what players can do when those artificial restrictions are ignored *cough*.
