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.
