    Private vs FC housing

    I am looking at available lots but it is restricted to just FC bids. Unavailable to private buyers.

    Why? Should not all lots be available to everyone?

    Some wards are designated FC only, some are personal only, some are mixed.

    To answer the Why - I suspect its to provide solo players the option to getting housing without having to compete with FCs; because a FC can place multiple bids on the same lot so essentially placing your 1 solo bid against 6 people who all intend to share the house puts you at a distinct statistical disadvantage. This is probably also why the "private only" lots are fewer as generally a group of people sharing a lot is more space/resource efficient.
