You can even fix this by having instanced neighborhoods; no more than five lots per instance. Think of it like Sims 4. Unfortunately, the devs won't let go of their immersion argument despite the housing system being a complete mess. It's the same issue that plagued PvP for years. They finally gave in and allowed us not to queue as our Free Company because queue times were embarrassing low. At this point, I think plenty of people would accept less content in one patch cycle if it meant instanced housing and the current system was scraped.
