SE just needs to make more housing and more than likely will need to eventually go with instanced gardens in addition to instanced interiors. Unless they want to run these 100+ zones constantly wasting server resources constantly; the housing system needs to be redesigned from scratch so that housing demolitions aren't required at all.

Its foolishness in the first place that players need to create a thread like this as they shouldn't have to fear having their houses turn down by an automated system and losing all the progress they've made. The other thing that is appalling is that when the houses are demolished their furniture will be demolished as well if they don't return in time.

In the end SE made the right decision here however there will be future issues where any players won't be able to purchase housing (apartments aren't houses they are shoe boxes) as without demolitions there will no longer be freed up housing plots. Again this wouldn't be an issue if the FFXIV housing system didn't have such LIMITED quantity of housing. Assign some resources onto fixing this situation and you won't get a 20+ page thread every time something happens in the world requiring auto demolitions to be stopped again and again.
