But hey! They are just lazy!

Really - grow up. Life gets in the wayof gaming. As it should.
What's always taken the piss for me is that your subscription dollars apparently aren't enough to guarantee place holding of this feature until you can get back online. Who CARES if someone is paying $15 a month to hog a virtual house they're not using? They'll either come back to the game at some point, or eventually unsub and lose it anyway; big whoop. (Spoilers: keeping my house on an auto-demolish stranglehold doesn't encourage me to login in and "use it", like people would like to believe - it just boosts SE's daily login count by 1 and irritates the pants off of me over how arbitrary it is.)

The playerbase is so quick to point fingers at one another instead of pointing them at SE, the braintrust of this current housing debacle. I'd almost rather they remove the feature altogether (with obvious refunds to those who own) until they can get it sorted out where there's enough for EVERYONE, even if someone wants one for each one of their three accounts with 8 alts apiece.
