While that is a bit annoying, I still think it's funny that the devs decided to have a mansion in LB facing the away from the rest of the area, which means that even when you are standing on the edge of the map and fully zoomed out, you cannot see the entire front of your house. Or in Shirogane how they have beach side homes, but not a single one faces the beach.

Let's face it, the FFXIV city planner went to the same school that taught Hiroi how to write.
