Even if you throw out an entire half of the playerbase completely arbitrarily, there will still only be enough houses to service 4%. And I'm willing to bet far more than half of the 2 million subscribers are active players and want a house, which means that percent is an overestimation.
The fact is, creating a system that is in such high demand amongst players, has been established in many other MMOs as something available to everyone, and that contains a number of other highly desired game features (chocobo raising, gardening, airships in the future) is just not a good decision. SE was lazy. They spent 9 months doing... what, exactly? 9 months to wait for personal housing, and all they've done is edit some code so that individuals can purchase FC houses also. The minimal effort put into this demonstrates a disappointing lack of caring on SE's part, and Yoshi's responses to player concerns have so far been equally lacking in care.
