As someone who redecorates a lot there is a bit of a storage problem. All of the private residences I have access to are decorated except for my apartment but I do use their storage as additional storage for the fc house.

I redecorate the entrance floor and the garden of the fc house for every in-game event. Xmas, Halloween, etc. Because of this I have accumulated a tremendous amount of furniture, a lot of which is costly and irritating to replace. The storage in the fc house on its own is not enough. That plus a dedicated retainer for furniture is not enough. Outdoor furniture is particularly troublesome because the amount of storage slots is tiny.

I truly can understand why someone would use a residence for furniture storage because I have been doing it for a long time now. Though I suppose the main difference between me and some others is that you wouldn't know unless I told you because anything strangers can access is fully decorated.
To be clear, I don't care if people use apartments as storage. They can essentially hold 200 slots of whatever shit you want to throw in there, and they're an essentially unlimited resource. It's a drag to see people with actual concepts get shimmed by people who don't use their houses for anything (most people don't even garden, in my FC's ward there's 2 gardens, ours and someone else's). But if the argument is that people who buy into a system have every right to do what they want with their property, including not using it, then I guess the whole idea of grandfathered houses isn't an issue regardless.
