If the game had a proper instanced housing system, then demolition wouldn't be necessary. Because SE sticks to the ward system, it is.

Players can either choose to be smart consumers and stop paying a subscription for a game they aren't playing for the sake of something they aren't using, or they can be dumb consumers and waste their money just for the sake of saying "I have this item that's stays shoved in a closet most of the year, aren't I special?"
Literally contradicting yourself here.
Nobodys saying they only want to play 4/52 weeks of the year. But some people would definitely appreciate taking a 3 month break without losing their house, coming back refreshed, and then devoting time to the game again. Without having to drop 40 USD just to keep the house going
