They would need more housing zones to be able to do that tbh. Many ppl have a 2nd house on their BB acc etc.It wasn't for new players. There are alot more servers on each of the US clusters. This made the housing zone a nightmare because you would have to port 6+ times just to check all the CMs. However the housing zones are quite full because just about everyone can afford to pay for a house almost indefinitely. The aim on the US was to remove most of the inactive houses and then make one housing zone (like the frontier). I don't know what happened with the plan in the end.
