I understand why the separation to guarantee FCs are able to get a house but can't agree with the design decisions that cause that to be necessary in the first place.

It's been 9 years since patch 2.1 was released and housing was added to the game. It's a shame that SE won't acknowledge the design flaws that turn what should be a 100% positive game experience for every player into one that is negative for far too many players and make the necessary changes to prevent that. More wards is not the answer when the ward system limits how many players can acquire a specific plot location.
I won't lie, i do like the ward system a lot because I have neighbours that i've made friends with that I wouldn't have met otherwise. In fact, i've made friends with far more people through housing than I ever have going to a city.

Most of the issues with housing seem to be surrounding medium and large plots. Personally, I'd love a medium (i haven't been lucky yet) and in a very specific location due to sunsets and sunrises etc.

But, the housing areas quite frankly are terribly designed to the point that exploring with a friend goblet, one plot had shirogane castle walls that were clipped all the way into the steps.

A redesign of the housing wards (which shouldn't be an issue since people are registered to plots, not coordinates) and then potentially changing it so the sizes of the plots can be increased/decreased by the player's choice. (probably redesign some house walls as shirogane castle is too tall as well) This would make A LOT of people happy and reduce many of the issues with housing which is cantered around size. To increase a plot size, obviously would need to pay the required sum amount.

This would be great as there are A LOT of small plots in excellent locations around, like for example, in Shirogane alone, you have 4 smalls right next to the beach and 2 mediums. That would be upped to 6 plots of any size right next to the beach, 12 per ward if they were to keep the rough layout whilst increasing the size of the district.
