I mean... I guess? Yeah, they are FC houses, I knew that already. Still though, that's a pretty iffy statement, but at least it could be possible. They'd have to buy literally everything though, since the one single character in each FC is level 1. I don't buy it, but it's a better response to everything else here so yeah. I can see it at least.

If there's a problem with the housing system right now, it's the ridiculously long auto-demolition timer. For every unused house, players have to wait 45 days. Drop the auto-demo timer to 5 days or less if you want more people to have a shot at owning a house.
I mean you can keep saying it, but auto-demo timer isn't what I made this thread about. But since you insist. The auto-demo timer being at 5 days or less would be so incredibly awful lol. Like what? Want to go on a week trip somewhere? Say farewell to your house. Or just don't feel like playing the game for a whole gosh dang five days? Goodbye home. The auto timer is totally fine. Maybe reduce it to 30 days minimum, but anything less is just silly. Even then, taking a single month break happens and losing a house because of it would be an awful feeling. I believe the 45 days is a good number.
