The reality is there is a shortage of supply - I would address the causes of the shortage in the system BEFORE building a entirely new system. Shell FC's in my opinion should not be a thing.
Just because some of us have been around long enough to have suffered under an even worse system isn't justification to make newer players also suffer through a bad system.

The cause of the shortage of supply is SE choosing to use a ward system in the first place. It is not very flexible nor able to adapt to a rapidly growing players base. Instanced housing can.

The best way to fix the supply is to go with a full featured instanced housing system. Other games have done so successfully. They don't have the drama over housing that we have. Any player could get any housing location they wanted through their own effort and merit instead of relying on RNG to maybe gift them with a location they really want.
