As the title suggest, what do you think the actual cost to spin up and maintain a housing ward on 1 server actually costs Square Enix?

What I'm getting at is a bet it's not very much, and if the option was actually made to players to make a one time payment $10-$20 for a guaranteed plot which I suspect is WAY more then the actual cost for Square Enix to Spin up and Maintain a single Plot in their Data Center the housing issue would be completely solved.
