Why Removing Houses from inactive is NOT a solution.

What you are asking for though is complete remodel "Housing" design from the ground up which would completely tear down the old system and require a lot of time to make a new one.

I am fully aware of this and think it is the only way to actually solve the problems surrounding FFXIV's housing system. The current system will never work to provide everyone with a home.

There is a 99.9% probability that SE is going to continue to maintain the current structure no matter how much you're opposed to it or how vocal you are. Regardless of how old the quote was (posted in this thread and another), SE has clearly indicated their path and it's very doubtful they're going to do an about-face at this stage of the game. We don't even know if the entire player base would even go along with an entire housing structure tear-down even if you think it's the best idea. Whether you like their structure or not, or believe the reasons SE posted for why it is how it is or not, is 100% up to you but, IMO, you're fighting a losing battle.

This. The best thing you can do right now is accept the system for what it is and make suggest to improve upon that system that works for everyone. One idea I was thinking is give personal home owners the option to turn their house into an Inn by adding a finite amount of personal chambers.
