So considering the size of the servers....

Ok, let us put it this way, my point was that even if my numbers were fairly far off, we still don't have enough housing for everyone. Just considering in my sample, I already have people that can't get housing because it is already bought out. Just from the numbers I already have, we don't have enough housing.

It is called a hypothetical situation/scenario for a reason. If it is already like this, then this is the issue. Assuming that on a larger scale it is also somewhat similar, then this is the issue. If both are the same issue, then assuming a larger case, this is the proposed idea.

My point also being that SE could have designed their housing system to be more adaptable, but they didn't. Now, I wouldn't mind them redoing housing completely, but there would be plenty of people upset if the changes messes with their houses too much.

Took me a bit to find a reasonable scenario but here is an example:

I see that there are people who are hungry. I go: Hey, we should find a way to feed more people. Assuming this much of the population I can see is hungry, we need to find a way to get this much food. Now, assuming then that the rest of the state is like that, we need this much food. Assuming that the nation is like that, we need this much food.

Even if we don't need that much food or if we need more than that much, point is still that we need more food.
