A month or two? Every time demolition has been paused it has been for several months. And those were for natural disasters (earthquakes, violent weather) that only affected one small part of the world. Covid is a world wide issue. Manage your expectations. It won't be turned off anytime soon.

The housing system is so incredibly flawed that turning demolition back on will mostly only benefit current players anyway. New players won't have enough gil as soon as current players (for very obvious reasons that I hope I don't need to explain!) and depending on what server they're on new players may have close to no hope getting a plot from just demolition. Adding new wards is actually significantly more beneficial than just turning off demolition.
