Also adding more benefits to houses does come with a drawback. For example I'd rather craft anywhere I want without having to go to a specific place only to not miss out on a buff. Having to return to my house anytime I log out is also more inconvenient than just logging out in any rest location. I would rather have the exact opposite: As long as not everyone / every FC can have access to a house, no more benefits should be included to them, and existing benefits should be made accessible to everyone. This goes for gardening and airships / submarines, storage etc. Content should not be gated behind a restriction that is based on limited supply.
I'm assuming if a solution that made everyone happy existed and was possible that SE would be smart enough to implement it. So the choices we assume are available are, to either remove player housing to make room for more FC housing or vice versa. Since there are significantly more players I don't see removing FC housing as fixing the problem. I personally would like instanced housing since wards seem like a massive waste of resources as very few people utilize the ward in ways you couldn't by inviting someone to a instance.

The resting bonus idea was to apply to the player while they are online not just when they are logged out. The idea is that you are not missing out on xp by socializing with your friends. You can hangout and recoup the xp you would have gained during that time (only a percentage) when you go back to leveling. The buffs would not be mandatory. They would work similar to food buffs, nice but not necessary. The idea here is by providing a place where people can congregate to craft or do other activities that people would become more familiar with each other and bond.

I would just like to utilize the Housing in a more practical way. Not everyone cares about decorating.
