How would have implemented housing in XIV?

[Evogolist]

Please just ignore the troll, they obviously hopped in this thread to do just that. Besides, I really don't want this to get derailed or closed, when it can in same way, shape, or form help the devs further understand how they should go about adding more wards or housing areas in future patches and expansions. Plus, I respect and love everyone's take on how they would have added housing.

Moving on, one last question.

Do you think the devs are at least moving in the right direction with trying to solve some of the problems with housing? And what additions or Quality of Life fixes would you like to see added to housing?

For me it would be the following:

1) The ability to friend alts and add alts to shared housing.
2) The ability to assign retainers specific actions/animations aside from just static poses. (This would possibly be a strain on the server load, so this isn't necessary, only if able to add without problems)
3) The ability to place one of your retainers inside your plot.
4) As mentioned earlier, the ability to add private chambers for shared plots.
5) A larger space or second floor for apartments or give players the chance to either buy an apartment room or buy a loft which would be the equivalent of apartments but with two floors.
6) A third floor for small plots if we can't have private chambers.
7) And last but not least, the ability to place the independent minions anywhere in our home.

Edit: I forgot one...the fountain in the Gridania Inn looks really cool and nice, would be awesome to be able to add something like that to our house.
