I don't see how asking for the auto demolition system to be enabled is cannibalistic when that's part of the design. You can argue about changing the housing system in the future but given how far ahead Square Enix plan these systems changes, 7.0 is the earlier we'll see anything which is still 18 months away (estimate based on when EW released and the current 4 month patch cycle). Wanting the current system to be fully functional, including the mechanic to free up plots owned by inactive players, is an entirely fair request to make until a proper housing system can be implemented. I'd argue it's also fair for Square Enix to reconsider ownership of multiple houses that was grandfathered in from a previous ruleset in which that was allowed.
