Reactivate The Housing Demolition Timer

[dspguy]

I unsubbed back during HW and lost my house. Back then, there were still smalls readily available on my server. By the time I returned about 1 year later, all plots were purchased. I was lucky to get a house during the auto-demo FCFS times where you didn't have to wait some random time to purchase it. And that was only because a friend quit the game and forwarded me the email with his plot demolition time.

Since then, when I want to take a break from the game, I rotate 40 days unsubbed, 30 days subbed, etc. My wife wound up benefiting from a black market sale gone wrong and she picked up the vacant large plot. Coming from our privileged position, it does feel like we are "held hostage" subscription-wise. Considering the methods in which we both got a house, I don't see that happening ever again.

If I could buy a large for 50M, possibly lose it due to unsub and purchase another for 50M with ease - I would do it. If only so I kept a house when I return from a 6-12 month hiatus.
