FFXIV needs to do something. A year ago (2024) I came to Dynamis and was able to get a home in Ward 16 of Shirogani. There has been plenty of lots left until this month (July 2025). All the lots are suddenly being filled by people whose names are hyphenated by letters and numbers (example 1-TnG4). My fellow player explained that these are Gold Bots. Accounts are made for these false-characters so they can sell gold in the forums. The player explained to me that because they are "real accounts," Square Enix just looks the other way. So, in my opinion, this is one of the reasons that there is a huge housing shortage.
