I wish SE would remove the FC/personal restrictions off all wards and just let the neighborhoods be. Stop development of new wards and leave it as is, and just do instance housing in major cities.

There's enough of them to satsify the majority of people who want a neighborhood by now quite frankly. But there is nowhere near enough of them for people who just want a house.

Why do this to yourselves? And get so much criticism for it? Is it that important to keep with this model? I think the model is good enough to leave as is and abandon it for the development of instanced housing now.

And these instanced homes could take advantage of all the housing walls/exterior/interior decorations so development on those could continue no problem.

So why not do this? Why not both and make everyone happy?
