Housing content consists of workers, storage spaces, crafting houses, stables, everything you can invest on inside a city. What PA did with Heidel, Calpheon, Altinova and Valencia was amazing but then decresed the effort into the cities dramatically. O’draxxia has 5 houses….

I agree.  All cities should be designed to be social hubs if players so choose.  Also, the amount of Contribution Points required for hourses in newer cities is obscene.
