How to fix housing in 2 steps

[Jojoya]

Your quantity argument here again points to why you're incorrect. The difference between plot sizes is a matter of quantity, larger plots have greater capacities but they're otherwise the same in terms of actual features available. The difference between Houses and Apartments is both quantity and also a lack, if Apartments did not lack features and only had lesser quantities then they would be the same.
Even with your argument that IRL apartments and houses are both defined as housing, the reality is that there are things you can do with an IRL house that aren't possible with an apartment.


However, the simplest issue here is that apartments and houses refer to two concepts with are understood commonly enough for discussion. Obfuscating things by saying they're both the same is just distracting from the discussion, especially when you're also pointing out how they're not actually the same. Arguably the discussion you seem to want to have is a lot more convoluted than just being able to point at houses and say "we want that rather than apartments".

edit: Perhaps for another example, equating Apartments and Houses is kinda like equating players on the Free Trial vs those who have bought the game. They have access to some features, but not everything.

What am I incorrect about?

Contrary to your claim, at no point have I said that apartments and houses are the same thing. I haven't. All I've said is that both are housing, which is true.

In the meantime, you continue to play semantics game instead of answering the question I posed to you that would actually be useful feedback for the developers. Let me try asking it again.

What are you looking for from housing, why does a house provide what you want and why does an apartment not provide what you want?

Believe it or not, I'm on your side. I want you to have a house. I want other players who don't have a house to get houses as well. I want everyone to be able to enjoy the system.

But if players aren't providing constructive feedback, the developers aren't getting useful information to consider when they go to make design decisions.

"Apartments aren't housing" is not constructive feedback.

"Apartments are not the housing I want because... " then followed by a list of specific reasons would be.
