Plot migration and why the housing problem persists, SE please start listening.

This part confuses me more then the TC's post since this does not happen with TC's proposal or in game?

I think you misread her proposal.

So heres the fix, a very simple one that not alot of people will like but in my eyes is the only one you can realistically make to fix this situation you caused. Disable plot migration, make it so those who want a house in the new housing areas have to give up their old house and buy the new house at full price and like all the new housing shoppers have to remake things from the ground up.

Why? Because then and only then, will people really have to make the choice of "Is it worth losing 4.5 million gil just for a house in the new area or not?" and that is how it becomes fair for everyone involved.

Its not about scrapping all the furniture and what not. Its about giving up your plot to 'upgrade' to another plot, and then putting your furnishings back in manually. The issue is the upgrade.

The initial proposal was for the original House owner (Person A), be required to give up their property, then try to compete with New House Owners (Person B) over a plot of land. The issue is that Person A has far more to lose than person B, as not only will they be giving up the initial housing investment, but they run the risk of not getting a house in the desired location, and not being able to get their old house back. Where Person B only has to worry about getting a desired house. Person A loses far more in this exchange. The proposed change would cost person A tons of Gil in property value. It would not cost person B anything. And the downside would be Person A may lose everything in this proposal if they fail to get their desired plot, and cant rebuy their old one. Person B gets a net gain. More chances at property, with no loss of value (as they had no property value to begin with.)

The OPs post is detrimental to house owners, but beneficial to new buyers. That wouldnt be fair.
