Turn Housing Demolition on

[KuroMaboroshi]

I can see why events in Europe mist justify pausing demolition on the EU servers.
I don't see why it should pause demolition on the NA and JP servers; the number of players harmed by continuing demolition on those servers would be miniscule compared to the number who benefit.

You'd be surprised. There are plenty of us EU folk over on the NA servers.

Also, I'd argue the "harm" inflicted by there being less housing available due to a lack of demolition is miniscule compared to the one inflicted by someone losing their house through no fault of their own on top of an already shitty situation.
The moment one concedes that housing demolition suspension in a crisis is in principle the right call, even if it is only a token gesture of goodwill towards people who have other worries at the moment, then one can't argue that somehow people not being able to get a house to begin with, but who are otherwise fine somehow need their "distress" balanced against the actual distress of people in real trouble.

SE should IMO actively discourage players from making investments in immobile game assets outside their home geography.

I'll go farther and suggest that SE should outright prohibited people from owning houses on servers in a geography other than their own. Yes, I know people can use VPNs to get around this, but I still think it would be a good idea.

This can't be a serious take, can it? I have been swallowing bait again, haven't I? Shame on me...

It's fine though, you can have "my" housing spot I didn't end up taking on the EU DC.
