There have been periods in the game's history when getting a house wasn't a problem (unless you played on Balmung). But the last time we had such a period was 2018. The player base has increased rapidly since then and the increase to demand has outpaced the increase to supply.

Obviously the current situation needs a solution but I wanted to correct your belief that SE should have corrected this 12 years ago.
Games was released back in September 2010.
