Legacy, 1.0, etc. My first 2 FC houses were inherited back in late 2.x to early 3.x. Now some Western public opinion of new players has shifted and ya'll want to demo that? Get a grip.

There are free plots with 0 bids available right this moment! and will be in future ward expansions!
On a MACRO level, SE shoulders blame for pausing auto-demo (reduced supply), keeping housing prices low (increased demand), and being unable to expand servers/housing at a time of peak subscriptions (increased demand).
