If there ever is too few FC plots the devs will just allocate another set of wards for free companies. Free companies will always have priority. They get to place more bids and shop around in FC wards with plenty of options and no competition.

The reason why houses run out has never been the existence of free companies, but the existence of personal housing. There will never be enough houses because as soon as a ward is opened up to personal buyers, every single plot will be filled in a short amount of time. No matter how much we are given, we need more.

Let's be real here. New FCs of the future are not the real reason people are mad about "undeserving" free companies buying plots. In people's minds those houses in a free company ward are just personal plots waiting to be released to the public and free companies are cutting the line. People are unwilling to make an FC to buy these plots and would prefer FC wards to rot unused until they are opened for personal buyers.
