Throw aside the limitations for a second because that is a redundant argument. Yes it sucks that more people can't get homes even in the near future, but its not like any credible company that wasn't run by completely, incompetent apes would deliver lackluster content, outright lie and break promises if they could help it.
People are upset. Fine, you have every right to be, but using strong and repetitive words to instill the idea that Yoshi is being sleazy and sneaky about everything sounds like you're just trying to validate your anger even more by getting more people on your side.
Should he have announced it sooner? Of course. But I will run with the idea that he simply underestimated the backlash it would cause, if any, because he had nothing to gain from hiding it if he genuinely thought that it would cause great anger amongst the player base. Even still, he's just a man whom is capable of mistakes. There is a lot the company have to try and deliver that stretch far beyond "mere" housing and sometimes things change and he cannot anticipate everything, including players' reactions/feelings.
