You can still take a month off without losing your house, so in that sense he is, again, not wrong. They simply don't want people leaving for 2-4 months at a time and keeping something better served to a continuously active player.
Um.. you are simply word twisting... why are you defending someone going back on their word?

Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

"We wont have ANY SYSTEM LIKE THAT" the auto demo system IS like that.

You know why they had to do what they did? Because they do not have enough funding, SE needs to give the FFXIV development team a bigger budget, all it is.
