I don't get why they just don't make some sort of housing program for each major patch for example they put an announcement that for you to get a house you need to send in a application and listed in that application is the size plot you want and where you want it and how much it will be? so SE knows basically exactly how many wards to open up. So if people miss the application dead line they would need to wait until the next application cycle to get in on a house. This way people get the size plot they want where they want it all they have to be willing to do is pay the max amount of gil before devaluation happens. If too many people are asking for large/medium why not just make wards with just large and mediums? All that would need to be done would be to readjust the plot sizes by taking out small houses that very few seem to want?

just my 2 cents anyways.
