In other words, we shouldn't delete the majority of land holders (the personal houses) just to satisfy the minority.

However, if SE starts segregating wards in the future, the shell FC issue is going to be causing problems for the legitimate FCs:
That is fair but if housing is a finite supply and we buy into the premise that Shell FC's are a problem shouldn't we try to maximize the use per plot to best of our ability to make the most out of each plot of land.
