That's ...... that's entirely the point. Did you not read my post or something?

5k houses, 20k people.

They only way to work this out is:
A. Make 15,000 more houses
B. Make it so only 5,000 of your 20,000 qualify for housing.

So if housing costs 40 million gil, people with 3 million gil are out playing FF14 doing quests and dungeons and crafting and hunts and raids, not standing around the wards being mad at every other player who is doing the same. 40 million takes a couple months to earn even today, and that's if you're taking your sweet time about it.
