I don't think any property should be forfeited due to absence, that's shameful of se,, their first thought is always punish no matter the reason. If there ends up being dead homes so to speak then so be it, that's more reality then anything else.
I have yet to see any busy ward...ever. the xmas event helped the first wards and that's it. it looks dead most of the time as is anyway.

IMO, once paid for it should never be revoked.

My hope is capacity for housing is vastly increased sooner then later..2015 should not have so many limitations

OP hopefully they will be adding more subdivisions. Apartments are an "ok" idea I guess if they are extremely cheap cause we all know they will be tiny tiny tiny. SE has thought very small when it comes to housing so far imo ( not just size wise, but small as in thinking small with limited features, restricting item limits, no creativity to build your own furniture, etc,....not price however lol

Hopes for all those still without a home, and those that will need one in the future, that they add in as many as it takes.
