Yes, I understand it might hurt the RP/Venue community a bit but having single people buying up entire wards is a bigger problem.
Hate to break it to you, but you can buy a story skip. And also people like me who literally are crazy enough to go through MSQ on multiple alts. I have 1 partway through EW, 4 in the middle of shb and one finishing up stormblood.
We know months in advance of major housing availability such as the new servers. I have the time to get another character leveled, their fc leveled and through enough MSQ to bid in whatever ward I want. More wards have been more or less inevitable even if they are not often, you can count on it happening.

Your proposed change won't solve anything. EU housing atm I would say is totally fine, there are still hundreds of houses available for players to get if they wish. JP I cannot speak to the state of but I would guess it's also fine. NA has an entire new DC to fill, if players refuse to move it's their choice and they can live with the stiff competition on servers like Balmung.
