How did we get here?

I think housing needs to go back to it's former price points.

I can agree with this suggestion if they stop gating content behind housing. Make a gardening instance attached to the apartment building so that anyone with an apartment can have a plot; put an entrance to the free company workshop in the grand company they're affiliated with - however these things fit. But if housing is meant to be scarce and expensive, and having it is simply meant to be a point of pride, putting content behind it is a very bad idea.
