Housing needs to be limited to ensure there's a demand. Meaning people would be more inclined to pay the plot cost, regardless of what the cost was. That's what I was getting at. If you read the full post, especially regarding the recommendation on "auctions", then you'd have a better take on it.

So long as there is a demand, SE can jack up the pricing on all plots and people would still go out of their way to get one. That's how much worth and weight the community put on a bunch of code that has no real benefit (outside of FC ownership) beside growing onions.
