I don't know if this has been suggested already, but here goes.
As it stands right now, a single individual across multiple alts and alt accounts can own entire wards, restricting smaller and newer FCs from being able to win a home of their own. With such limited supply for housing, and an unwillingness to punish players who are using a loophole to own multiple houses on one account, I suggest that the dynamic and interesting gameplay system attached to the FC workshop should be uncoupled from the housing system entirely. I think this would be a fair compromise, and perhaps even disincentivize at least some people from buying up entire wards on their own, since they would also no longer require a housing plot in order to utilize the sub/airship system.
As an alternative, please add an NPC, or a door, to every Grand Company HQ to allow free company members to access the FC workshop via the grand company HQ their FC is allied with. That way, smaller FCs with limited resources (who cannot compete against others with far more gil and ability to bid over them) are still able to interact with all the features within the free company workshop.
It's such a dynamic and interesting system, it seems like such a shame to have it completely restricted to a section of the game that is entirely out of reach for the average player, for reasons entirely outside of their own control.
