Cut all up-front housing prices in half. Add an upkeep cost every week that's like 10% of the up-front cost. BAM, you have your constant gil sink AND you have a way to create turnover in the housing market so dead FCs and inactive players don't hog absolutely critical housing spaces.
I know for a fact that my old FC (Blades of Nald'thal) is dead but still holds a small plot somewhere in Mist, a plot that would be MUCH better-served being turned over to someone else.
I'm not saying I don't agree, especially about FC housing (since there should be a way to have SOMEONE in the FC keep the house up), but for individuals, the investment they put in... Â I mean, it'd just be awful, quite frankly.
But if they cut the initial investment and put in a "rent" type thing, I could see that.
