Ultimately I am all for opening housing up to more people. That's the way it should be, that's the way it is in most other games that have housing. They just need to actually go all in on it and either add instanced housing or more wards.
Yeah, personally my preference would be instanced that's upgradeable.
Entirely unlikely to ever happen but it'd be cool if FCs were able to purchase an instanced ward with size categories that have requirements you have to meet to upgrade to them. The size would change the fc house, but also give a number of plots members could move their house to allow that neighbourhood feeling still. But also imagine all those epic nightclub houses in that system where you could work together to make a party village.
