There are many players who still think it's going to be withheld until next expansion to make it an additional selling point. I definitely hope they're not correct. We need the housing sooner, not later.
Yeah, the point was mostly that at some variable point in the future there's a significant amount of housing that's likely to drop into the game on top of new wards already being under consideration. With Shirogane as an example, a new district would likely have the same number of plots/wards as the existing ones so new wards being added before that launch would add to Firmament too.

Which, in context, to me it seems like behaviour more aligned with the devs trying to make housing plots available to more and more of the population. If it was trying to maintain a certain amount of supply I'd expect to see something like "we're waiting til after firmament to add more" even for the latest increase.
