If all housing was instanced in the first place, these discussions wouldn't be happening.

If ward housing is going to continue to be a thing, then FCs should still be able to get a house but SE should remove all the economic advantages to ownership. Those getting a house solely for workshop or garden would no longer get one; FCs would still have their customizable space for social gatherings without being limited to some generic space (unless SE finally decided to do instanced housing right and offers variety in locations).

The mistake was SE's original assumption that players don't want personal houses and that only FCs would. Considering the number of players already using a FC house as a personal house because that was the only way to get a house for a while, removing personal plot ownership wouldn't accomplish anything.
