1800 plots is not a lot on NA servers outside of Dynamis.
Those 1800 plots are also gonna be split between FCs and individuals - and considering the demand for ward housing is mostly from individual players.

The last I checked, the average NA server outside Dynamis has ~20k active characters based on Lodestone/census data.

Currently there are 7200 ward houses per server. With an additional 1800 houses, it comes to 9000 houses.

20,000 - 9000 = 11,000 ward house shortage

Of course, not every players wants a ward house but the point is that the housing supply is nowhere close to the demand.
