Well, at this point I'm sure there are lots of players that want a house and don't care to live in a ward. I know my FC would not mind if we got 0 neighbours or not, but they'd like to have their own house (as a home base), their own private chambers, and their own airships... So Devs would do good to allow such players to build their houses apart and let whomever likes them pretty ward neighbourhoods to sit and wait till a plot opens up and they can move there.

Devs can have their fashion over function as much as they like, but at some point they should also provide an alternative for those gated functions.
