Having finite plots actually makes housing an extremely inefficient gil sink. Especially since it's the only gil sink in the game.

When all the plots are used up, how else is that gil being removed from circulation? People won't stop buying housing in the game if it was accessible to everyone, they just wouldn't buy it for as much - and right now, that extra gil they're spending due to demand isn't going to the server and being removed from the economy, it's going to another player; ergo, it's not an actual gil sink.
