I'm not really sure why you think the fact that the auto-demolish is clearly documented matters. It seems you're being incredibly literal about "stolen," while I meant it more figuratively. The point being that you got to the house and bought it and the game shouldn't be overly hasty to take it back from you just because other people also want a house. Even the 45 day timer for auto-demolish is, quite frankly, a bit absurd. A two month lapse in a person's sub hardly suggests no intention of ever returning. While I understand why it exists, it absolutely should be looked at as an unfortunate bandaid fix that is to be eventually overcome by further improvements, not an intrinsically desirable or positive feature.
There isn't a housing shortage, just lack of effort and intelligence.
