Ive read through all 12 pages of this thread at this point, there were a lot of good points and a lot of bad points, but the biggest take awy I have from reading everything is that Solowing is not a nice person and argues in bad faith and tries to bring down every single person that disagrees with them. Can we please stick to the topic at hand and stop attacking people? This is supposed to be a conversation about how housing needs to change, and it does. Using the excuse that its good how it is because its exclusive and gives people a sense of FOMO is not a good argument. Housing SHOULDN'T be exclusive, is that not why the changes were made to make it a lottery system instead of the old clicking system? This is also coming from someone that preferred that system because if its meant to be exclusive well, that was the more exclusive method. Now its more "Fair" because its a lottery system, but its not because you have FC's taking up 5-10 plots in a single ward, how exactly is that supposed to be fair when the plots are so limited? I have to agree with the instanced housing solution, that is the best method to fix a lot of the problems there are with housing. They don't need to get rid of the wards with this method they can just make them two separate kinds of housing, and who actually cares if there is a different set of rules for the different kind of house you have? That argument falls a bit flat when you realize that apartments are ALREADY a different set of rules from plots when you realize apartments are not subject to demolition. I saw someone's post about using the buildings in Solution 9 as instanced condos and such and I think that's a great idea because you can have different sizes for what different people can afford, and it can all be instanced just like apartments are already, doing that, they would fall under the second set of rules that is already primarily established for apartment housing with the differences from wards and the player base would get the best of both worlds.
