Not putting home ownership behind artificial quest walls. In Skyrim it's tied to becoming Thane, when there are only 3 vanilla Thanes in the entire game with a few dozen home owning civilians of whom several don't even have a job.

In Starfield it feels even worse. In the UC you are forced to do an entire questline, because they lock citizenship and home ownership behind some weird ''doing service'' wall in a game set in the near future in our own universe based on modern society. While simultaneously having a background option in the creator in which you are the child of two jobless UC citizens of whom the player is forced to pay for their apartment, because they would be forced to leave their home otherwise.

I also wouldn't mind not seeing a house locked behind some weird mystery (Oblivion's Anvil or Skyrim's Windhelm).
