I really hope all the focus on housing so far this expansion isn't impacting the development of real playable content. It would be a shame if Shiroganue, redesigning the wards to enable swimming, and now these current changes could have resulted in some really cool content. After the wards are added, they will still be ghost towns no one is practically ever in. I've never seen anyone swimming in wards, and the housing shortage will never be resolved with a limited supply. In short, I think this system is a waste of dev time and resources, and worry is is negatively impacting the game as a whole as a result.
