When will you really address the housing availability problem?

I actually like that personal houses have a physical space in an instanced neighborhood. I would not want to see them turned into the equivalent of instanced inn/private chambers. Besides, the space in those small homes are barely reasonable for a single owner (or couple).

I usually make this kind of question for those who want to keep this system: do you want something to work properly or not? I ask because the current system is, no offense here, utter garbage and doesn't satisfy the demand of housing. It just doesn't and there's absolutely nothing positive right now (keyword, right now).
In my case I have a house but I WOULD IMMEDIATELY give it away if I could have a private chamber or some sort of instanced place for myself: it'd be small, yes, but it would be mine and it wouldn't have a time bomb attached on it. I can get a private chambers, yes, but I lose it immediately once I leave, including my money. Might as well be homeless then!

In my opinion however, I'd fix this in a simple, yet logical way: make FC private chambers free. Lots of people will be glad to have a room for themselves, FOR FREE, and would even encourage FC to recruit more people because, let's face it, aside the Diadem (hard) you don't need a FC for anything: raiding is Static-based and only requires a linkshell at worst. Buffs? Passable, but I've played nearly 2 years without a FC and I managed to get my jobs at 50 with ease. Friends? That's usually subjective plus I'm very asocial. Easier to make groups? That's debatable: my best groups were pugs, and my worsts were premades.

So my suggestion is, in the LONG while they fix the housing, make private chambers free in the meantime. I mean 300k might not be a lot for some, but they can be easily lost too. But if the player has nothing to lose while getting a free room, why just not letting them?
