Let me correct that for you.

We (meaning the collective player base) play FFXIV for a variety of different reasons, and those reasons are different for every player. Some don't even care about housing at all and yet they still play the game because there is other content they do enjoy.

I know you've said that you only play for the housing, and that's fine but not everyone agrees with your take.

No one here is trying to take your neighborhoods away from you. It is not an "either/or" situation. What some of us feel that the neighborhoods have not worked out in practice and that an improved instanced housing system above and beyond what apartments offer would be an improvement. There's even more interest in better controls for item placement and decorating in general.
