Seriously, you have no excuse at this point. It's just downright evil to sit idly by while your playerbase wastes their health in a toxic system you yourself created. As creators of the game you have a responsibility to stop this.
You know what removing the purchase timer and reactivating demolition won't do?

They won't get you a house.

The problem is the supply compared to the demand. The player base has grown much faster in the past 2 years than SE could have anticipated. The distribution of that growth is uneven across worlds and data centers.

We know we've got an entire new housing district coming once Ishgard Restoration is completed. Even if it's no more than a standard set of wards like the existing housing districts, it's going to add an additional 1260 houses and 3780 apartments per world.

They are doing something about the housing situation, even if it's not fast enough to satisfy you. But that's MMORPG development in a nutshell, things can never be done fast enough for the players who feel entitled to instant gratification.
