Current Housing System is Exhausting and Unfun

[Solarra]

The only real fix is to significantly improve supply so it matches demand. More wards help but I doubt they could afford to open as many as they need.

Two possible solutions:
-Apartments should be upgraded to give more space inside and an outdoor area where people can garden (not just pots, proper plots with cross-breeding).
-Instanced houses

Making FC workshops accessible to all FCs maybe through a door at the GC would help reduce demand as well. A lot of people buy houses just for workshop access.

I don't like the idea of a lottery for the following reasons:
-It will probably make demand to jump by a huge amount as almost everyone would apply regardless of whether they really wanted a house, just in case they might want one later. So, your chances may actually be reduced with this system.
-People are going to feel resentful if they've been waiting years for a personal or FC house, when someone announces that they got their house pretty much as soon as they dinged 50 and met the requirements, because that is going to happen; RNG is a cruel mistress.
