That's what's happening right now. There are mass world wide DDOS attacks on various parts of the internet's infrastructure right now and SE has absolutely no control over it. Yes, their servers often aren't the best and there's a lot we can and should criticize them for. But this isn't one of those instances. They can do /nothing/.
Actually, they can temporarily suspend the housing demolition timer until this is resolved and/or improved. Keeping it up while some people can't log in when they get home (and not due to their own fault) is like saying "we don't care, but keep paying please". And no, I'm not affected by the timer myself, but I still think that it would be a good idea to do that, especially when this is not an issue that has been happening for a couple of days.

Of course, they are under no obligation to do that, but showing that you value your customers is always a good idea. 2013's SE would understand/care about this.
