I'm making a presumption that apartments are not housing. Forum posters that disagree with me are also making a presumption. This seems to be due to a lack of communication on SE's part, which we only care about due to a supply vs. demand issue.

The Lodestone post about opening up more houses for personal use acknowledges a supply issue. SE would do themselves a big favor by saying that they plan on addressing housing supply in future patches; what they're doing now does not come close to addressing it.

Without demolition in place and with the wards so full on many servers, this problem could continue for years like it already has.

In my opinion they're going to lose a lot of players over this and it could be avoided.
For myself, when looking at possible future MMOs, I see housing as meaning "A House". House to me signifies, a home, yard, etc. Because of the possibility of mileading or fraudulant informantion, I now search the forums or Reditt to ensure claification before I purchase. These days I take nothing at face value.
