A possible solution to the housing system that wouldn't be too hard to do, maybe...

or they could create free company islands with their own plots and locations that would create alot more room

This could actually be implemented pretty nicely into the game. Maybe the small islands in the Sea of Clouds into a housing location. One standard sized island that anyone can buy, no neighbors, just a house. This could be a nice way of doing the apartment or FC room style system as the exteriors won't need to be rendered into everyone's neighborhood so they can add far more housing than adding more wards currently can.

Maybe have some drawbacks to this to make the other wards still have value, like no market board on your private floating island?
