I personally, if given the choice, would like to keep my quaint little home in LB with its neighboring houses and their typical outside looks - just makes everything much more engaging...

I'm eyeing the new housing area myself, and the thought of having a housing area within an asian-themed look and feel to it, splattered with ARR house skins just... isn't fitting
No not at all you are comparing something that is no way similar. If SE gave gender locked/exclusive items to another race etc. Then yes it has lost its exclusiveness. With the housing areas the whole environment is based on the theme this remains exclusive, it is only the houses that have changed which is currently already going on.

If you want to go into exclusive gender/race items then yes I see no point in them and just a waste of resources. This is a fantasy game and should be able to dress how you want.

Although I wouldn't go as far to say classes/jobs should be able to wear others classes gear, but I see nothing wrong if it was allowed for them to use other classes gear as glamour.
