I can respect this view!
I want SE to pick a set of rules, apply it to everyone equally, move forward, and leave them in place permanently.

I want the grandfathered stuff to end, but for SE to give everyone a way forward and also not penalize them for choosing to let go of the houses. That means SE should give people a long enough grace period before changes take effect (like the time between 5.0 and 5.1 for example) to get subscriptions spun up and alts rolled so that they will be compliant, or not penalizing players for deciding to demolish a house that will be demolished at the end of the grace period by giving them a 100% refund for the house value and allow them to put the decorations up on the market assuming that would normally be possible with the decorations (instead of what would normally they'd normally) so that it's as painless as possible. That also means that if you fail to act during the grace period you will have the houses demolished.

The only way to stop threads like these from appearing is to normalize everything so there are no more haves and have nots. The restriction policy is the closest thing SE has given us to a policy that will fairly distribute housing if the restrictions were applied retroactively.
