Why player housing area not allow flying.

Since a negative consequence of flying in mmos is that you see way less people than when everybody is crossing paths with each other on the ground, this would also go against SE idea of "we are keeping residential areas as the main housing system so that you can feel you have neighbours".

And that would make sense if most of us saw other actual players in their respective wards. The last time I saw anyone at all was weeks ago. lol

That's cause people who buy their houses either stop playing or never goes to their house aside of every 45 day.

Also there is little to no incentive to be in your ward. I spend 99.9% of my in-game time when im not in a duty at my house or FC house but we're a rare kind.

We don't need flying in the wards. The zones are so small it would be like bouncing from wall to wall in a walk-in closet. The Aethernet shards already give us quick access to other parts of the wards if needed, unlike the larger open world zones that lack an Aethernet.

Yeah, it definitely isn't needed. There are many other things that the game needs. Flying in housing wards isn't one of them. I made a similar argument about flying in ARR areas though and we all know how that panned out.
