there are no other adventurers on the first other than "you". so there's no need for housing for "you".

There are adventurers on the First, mostly met through the role quests. There just isn't a formal Adventurers' Guild like on the Source, unless one counts Clan Nutsy.
I'd be all for it.
I'm not sure why people are trying to use 'lore' as an excuse for it not to happen, since there isn't really anything in relation to the story that stops a special house from being constructed for the Warrior of Darkness as a gesture of good will for not only saving the First but continuing to work towards keeping it safe.
Hopefully the story connects the Source and First somehow so that regular folk can travel between both and then there's even less excuse for there to not be a housing district.
Why would you want a home on the First when your friends, family, and ultimate duty are on the Source? Why would you isolate yourself on the First when those who depend on you on the Source are unable to contact you when needed?
If it's style you want, SE can always add in more Crystarium themed furnishings and a Crystarium inspired exterior skin. But a housing district on the First makes no sense until the main story arc of the game is completed and the Warrior of Light is no longer needed. At that point, sure. Let the Warrior of Light retire to the First so he/she can fade into legend on the Source.
The Crystarium is my favorite city/hub in game and I would buy a house/apartment there in a heartbeat. I don't RP or care much about the lore of the place myself, so 'isolating' myself on the first means absolutely nothing to me. For those who are into that, I'm sure they could easily create some story as to why the housing is being expanded in the First if they want to go that route.Why would you want a home on the First when your friends, family, and ultimate duty are on the Source?

Don't forget the time differential. Right now the Source and the First are "aligned" somewhat, but eventually the pendulum will swing the other way and the time dilation effect will cause a great discrepancy between the two.I'd be all for it.

This is why I expect that we will "Lore Wise" not be able to return to the First after the end of Shadowbringers. While we will be able to go back in game, story wise, after we leave, were gone. I do expect to see a compromise though where we will be able to build Crystarium themed houses on the Source.
I hardly see why eventually the land can't return to normal and things like housing become necessary, y'all are acting like the events in ShB just happened yesterday. People just want to disagree to disagree because they think it's fun. "Do you really think..." arguments are pretty...assertive. Take it easy people. I for one think Crystarium housing would be amazing, and I truly hope that upsets people.
I think the bigger lore-breaker is a new player joining an FC who have an estate on the First, visiting their plot before reaching the point in the msq that the Exarch pulls you into the First.
When you reach the 5.0 story it's like actually I've been to this world hundreds of times already to water my garden. This is normal.
