This game is on a terrible state right now.

Let's just be honest here, if they wanted to fix housing, they could, they'd rather not to. And why would they ? As long as it's not "fixed", they can force in auto demo, which forces people to subscribe every month, and if they dont, they'll lose their house after 45 days, and possibly have to bid for years to come to get another one, let alone get a large house if they already had one.

This is all about the money, they dont care about housing one bit, but they know how to milk the money from it, and its a success because it works

Oh, I don't disagree. I'm lucky enough to own a large house myself so contrary to what some like to imply it isn't just 'jealousy' that drives criticism of the housing system. Yoshi-P seems to stubbornly insists on clinging to the 'neighbourhood feel' as justification for its current implementation but I do suspect your own outlined reasoning is the true cause. The memory used for apartments and island sanctuary could easily have been used to implement personal housing as a compromise.

That being said, given how unlikely it is for someone to regain a lost medium or large house I suspect a decent chunk of people losing them don't bother subscribing to the game again out of frustration.

I agree, I assume most people that care about housing, after losing their favorite plots will just end up quitting the game all together, except if they really have a lot of friends keeping them in the game or perhaps a partner that wants to keep playing the game, but aside from those reasons yeah the best solution is to quit because you'll bang your head agaisnt a wall for years to get any large, let alone if you have a favorite one you want
