Yeah, sadly most housing issues are, from a development standpoint, apparently on a back-burner ... under a rock... on Pluto. In other words, don't hold your breath waiting for any sweeping changes to the housing system. Many (including myself) have begged for some meaningful updates to the housing system, but due to limited resources, the economy, etc., etc., it's not a priority and for now is as good as it's going to get.
That happens a lot here. You get used to it. /sigh
