It'll be faster to start from the top.

Yes, the Argonians want to live in Windhelm, but not in a slum, they want to live in the city itself. Like they can in any other city. But they can't due to Ulfric's decree. I agree, we shouldn't argue as to why he issued such a decree, but the fact remains he did, whatever his reasons, and since Bethesda didn't specify why, it could be any number of reasons.

Also, I find the Decree of Monument to be puzzling. It doesn't specify if it refers to any Dunmer living in Skyrim, or if it's only Solstheim that's "untithed to any land or hold, etc."
