Short of SE coming out and officially saying that owning 8 FC houses on a single service account is against the TOS, it's irrelevant to talk discuss intended house ownership model.

When housing was first introduced, it was obscenely expensive and FC only. There was no autodemo as well.


That reads like the GM asked the supervisor for a hot take, and the supervisor got it, so (more than likely) the supervisor didn't actually do much research so the take provided here may not be accurate of what SE actually thinks, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
You're shifting the goal posts for what constitutes as official evidence.
Should SE officially state on their website what is against the TOS regarding housing? Sure. But until SE does so, a GM is a very credible source.

Since owning multiple houses is unfairly denying other players the ability to participate in the system going by the restrictions outlined at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ , it's griefing.
See above, there are no loopholes.

It's also showing the cultural differences between what works in Japan (where there's a significantly higher housing turn over rate) and what doesn't in the North American and European markets. Changes should be made to account for the cultural differences that are also aggravating this problem.
This is rather hypocritical. Considering that this post is about a ward owner on Spriggan, a formerly dead world before the autodemo freeze.

There's also no discussion on the multiple housing ownership because Mew is part of the problem here, and they'd rather not provide ammo that will get them shot.
This is a guilt by association argument. But fortunately, anyone can scrap the Lodestone data regarding FC housing for themselves.
