I feel that's a touch hollow..

Mostly because, even though yes the issue is entirely the communitys fault, there is also the other issue of incentivizing people to move. Of which there is next-to-none. If you're set-up on Balmung for example. have a house and an FC, complete with personal & FC house.. Why would you move?

At present (which is kind of lackluster, given it's August now) people are using the new servers to make new characters, use the Road-to-80, yet go to the actual populated servers to get things done. Because their server / data-center doesnt have the numbers or people at X point in the game yet to DO what they want. (And DC-travelling is certainly making it worse. I see the vicious cycle and hints of irony in that statement)

The new servers really only benefit NEW PLAYERS or people willing to make Alt characters and use the road-to-80. Or the people desperate to get a house, yet that point was proven false given how many purchased houses got demolished within the 45-day demo time. People bought the house, then did nothing with it. Which goes alongside a noticeable drop in people "demanding housing for all".

A fair amount of people have purchased the houses, realized it's not for them and have since left, or are now advocating for improvements purely from their perspective. Still bearing fangs for reasons that escape me.
