If players have not been active within the game for a year or more I think it's safe to say that they most likely will not be back. So something needs to be put into place so others do get the chance to actually own their own personal home. After all everyone does deserve a shot at this.

I've been playing myself for a few months or so now and with how everything is, it is very unlikely I'll ever get the chance to have a home myself and I would have liked to have that option eventually.
