I don't even know why ppl are so adamant on not increasing the auto demolition timer.

Look, I'm on your side here. I want everyone to get a house and not lose them due to an auto demolition timer which is way too restricting.

If you really want to blame someone on the shortage of houses, it should really be players who hoard multiple houses and SE who is not taking any actions against such anti-social behavior in a MMO.
