This is almost all of the reason that this system is so bad. Personal homes had no business being in the wards. SE can't correct this now, though, because a lot of people like having their personal homes in the wards and would be unhappy if it were taken away. Best thing they could do is introduce instanced housing alongside the wards and offer incentives that may get people moving out.

The question is whether or not they're going to bother doing it.
