The housing system is trash!

Smalls are less desirable too, especially for a big FC you have to keep that in mind.

I doubt there are any large FCs stuck in a small except by choice. They don't form overnight and have plenty of time to acquire a medium if not a large by the point where they truly need the extra room for FC gatherings.

For relocation, personally I think relinquished plots in a claim cycle should be free to relocate to.
Currently, if someone relocates, their old plot sits vacant for 4 days before it even re-enters the lottery cycle. 4 days of complete lockout, can't even be bid on.
These plots that would otherwise be locked out, should be have a 'relocation exemption', so that those who want to move, and shuffle about in those 4 days of the claim period, and like a real life housing chain could just keep relinquishing and relocating along. This would speed up the process for those who are relocating, while not impacting the lottery process for those who placed bids in the bidding phase.

Wish they’d do this… I’d already be home by now! lol it just feels so slow, especially when you’re losing every lotto, having to wait for the next to come around is excruciating…

Everyone keeps saying the system has improved, please explain to me how a waiting list made randomized is improvement. Please explain how if you walk into a packed DMV and then a streamer suddenly brings in a substantial increase to the DMV. The soloution is to randomize the order of the line...... please anyone explain to me how it's a better system and how.

Before, getting into the housing market was the most difficult part (because of the RNG) and then you could move around freely. They litterally just made new players problems EVERYONES problems, dispersing the target audience that they should have aimed for to begin with. This new housing system is only "better" to benefinit SOME players only RECENTLY joining the housing search. I personally have lost six lotteries and have waited OVER FOUR YEARS for this to improve, and in my genuine evidenced experience it's substantially worse.

Lets all go to mcdonalds and wait halfway though the drivethrough to then be yelled at EVERYONE PARK FOR A WEEK AND PICK A NUMBER WE'RE LOW ON BURGERS!
It's a joke. 100%

Well, the obvious takeaway is that it was never actually meant to be a waiting list in the first place. Relocations were ostensibly meant to be a convenience offering rather than an end unto themselves. And, well, it's pretty silly to characterize "get literally any house and then be the first one to arrive" as a 'waiting list' in the first place.

Like, regardless of how anyone feels about it or whether or not it's a good thing, it's extremely clear that the intent is for there to be no difference between veteran players and new players in terms of accessibility.

The lottery makes things better in the sense that people can now take 2 minutes to enter the lottery and have 8 hours available to play the rest of the game instead of spending those 8 hours clicking a placard.

Obviously it doesn't address the core problem of supply.

Would you really be happier sitting in the drive-thru lane at McDonalds for 8 hours just to be told that the driver before you got the last burger?

It's more that the 8 hour a week player has the same opportunity as the 8 hour a day player. Veterans will always have the advantage of already having the gil while the new player will be struggling to get those millions at first.
