Don't get me wrong, I know there's going to be cases where players can't player no matter how much they might want to due to real life circumstances, but realistically speaking it's just that most people are going to leave the game and think "Maybe I'll come back". 2 months is plenty for a temporary break.
I don't think that it's your place to decide what "the majority" of players intend to do when they take a break from the game, nor is it your place to decide how much time is "plenty" for a break when there are many lines of work that require people to be completely apart from the Internet for 2-3 months of the year, even if they spend every day of the remaining 9-10 months playing the game.

Auto-demolition is fine. 45 days is not. If it were 45 days after your subscription lapsed, this would be a different conversation, but if you remain an active subscriber, nobody should be deciding how you're "supposed" to use that subscription to be able to keep your things. I don't imagine that people would be okay with it if they were updating the housing system so that people who had cleared more floors of Savage could buy plots of land that were currently occupied by people who had cleared fewer floors of Savage.
And yet that sort of "Well these players deserve it more because the way they play the game meets our arbitrary standards of player worthiness" attitude is entrenched in the very core of every single argument in favor of taking houses away from active subscribers who log out for more than x days in a row.
