That's a good question.

Personally, I do kind of enjoy the neighborhood, but it's somewhat uncommon that I run into other players. There'll be a few clustered at an FC house sometimes, but even those are often empty.

On the other hand, I do feel for those who'd like a house, but aren't able to find one. I lucked into a small some time ago, but I know plenty of people who are looking for one or (like me) looking to upgrade to something larger, and aren't having any luck.

I think this is just going to have to remain one of those "you can't please everyone" situations. No matter what SE does with it, part of the player base won't like it.
