Would be funny to see if they chosen this way and it would take a year or more to solve the spaghetti code from the lottery. Imagine the outcry of the Playerbase to the already happening outcry.

d) reroll everything from anyone in regards of housing to the starting point? Imagine the outcry of people/FCs who could upgrade their small or medium house or got a completely new plot for them or their FC.

e) reroll every bugged house again even if there were legit winners but werent shown because the lottery server didnt update the Housing server?

They had to die on one hill and they cant win not matter which one the chosen. The OF will cry and whine and stomp on the floor anyway.
The only solution is to pressure them for additional wards or instanced personal housing. Everthing else will upset people like you anyway no matter what they are gonna do.
100% this

What was square supposed to do? Yes everyone who got a 'O' plot basically can now get a free house, but every other solution would have pissed someone off, this was the only way to make sure valid winners got their houses and so the game could MOVE on from this.

you are completely right
