PSA/ALERT: Houses are getting demolished when they shouldn't. SE needs to see this!

I don't think that's true at all. It's a old meme at this point that SE only cares about JP community.

I dunno. JP gets a hurricane they shut down Auto Demolition within a few days. US gets hit hard by a few and it took over a month of the community begging for them to finally shut down the timer on the NA servers. I think there is still a certain bias.

It did not take over a month. It took only a few days for them to acknowledge it after I made the thread, and the week after they patched it in.

The amount of "are you SURE it wasn't on the housing demo?" has been a repeated, annoying question. The people who make these kind of threads are very well aware, you would know if someone lost their house to timer demo and would not know it as the question would be phrased of "hey, haven't been on in a while and my house is gone!"

For those affected, I hope you get some sort of compensation. I'd be devastated if I lost my house. There have also been known issues about demo timer emails not going out properly, which has caused issues.

OK, so it took 15 days after Harvey hit to suspend demolition for the US (after petitions). The first suspension which was for the Kumamoto Earthquake was enacted 3 days after the Earthquake. Still a significant difference.
