More Individual only housing wards are absolutely needed. And I'd go as far as to forbid relocation into them on Smalls. The amount of first time buyers who once again will be blocked from owning a house by those who already have one is one of the most infuriating parts of this whole system because you have to wait a week for the other person's old house to open up.

TBH there should be a cooldown on bidding for a same sized house by at least a month if you win one. Let people who have never had a house and have been trying since ARR to get one finally have a better chance.
If someone wins a plot and then their dream plot of the same size becomes available the next lottery cycle. They are and should continue to be able to bid on that plot. They are not taking an extra plot, the number of houses available does not change. Waiting a week might be annoying but it does not justify removing people's ability to go for that once in a lifetime dream plot. If there is 1 plot available and you bid, regardless of if someone relocated or was a new buyer your ass would still be waiting. In fact losing to a relocation SHOULD be favourable to you given the following cycle will have at least that plot they left vacant. If a different new buyer gets it and then there is no plots you are just out of luck. You would be wishing relocator won if there are 0 houses for you to bid on in the next several cycles. Because at least you have a chance if they do.
