It's functionally what apartments are. People don't want them because they are small and have pitiful decoration limits compared to larger houses. An instanced house would either be simply an interior, or one exterior that leads to the interior that doesn't have a persistent exterior location in a ward. Like I said above. This already technically exists, and players can already technically get them by owning an FC apartment and a regular apartment concurrently, but the location you "enter" is the size of a shoebox and has a small decoration limit.
Stealth edit?

It's not "wasting time". People are using this term but we don't have a shared definition. "Everyone knows" - okay, then what is it? If EVERYONE knows, it should be easy for you to put it into words or cite the agreed upon definition.

I don't ask this question idly. I suspect many who are proposing it don't know what it actually is. As I pointed out before, it would either be an uncustomizable house in a placeholder Ward where you go to the door to zone into your house's interior (people would hate this) or an unshared instanced zone like Island Sanctuary, which lacks customization (people would hate this as well). That's what Instanced Housing is. If you have another definition, I'd love to hear it, because this definition is what people would hate, not love.

I ask the question also to see if the people proposing it actually know what it is or not. Far from "disingenous", it's an effort to actually have a conversation by ensuring we have a shared understanding/definition of the thing we're discussing so we can clearly discuss the pros and cons involved. Something I suspect you don't wish to do because it would make your argument far more difficult.

Ever stop to consider WHY Apartments aren't as big as Larges?
