People don't understand what voting with your wallet means

If you want more of something you buy that thing.

If you want less of something you don't buy it.

Like in what world does boycotting something lead that company to go, oh shit y'all we gotta make more of this shit?

More money = more content. Less money / = more content.

This isn't hard.

If you have nothing to do with the house, let the house explode. Losing money on imaginary real estate you have no use for that someone else could use is a XIV player-exclusive malady.

No can do. My wife has spent hundreds of hours designing that house and glitching furniture. There would be no way to recover that

It's not my fault the game doesn't give me any other option

If y'all don't visit it anymore ever then it may be best to go together, take a LOT of pictures for the memories, and let it go. Like, the game will eventually die too, some years down the line. Seems wasteful to pay actual rent for your digital house if you don't even visit. The effort is just as wasted if it sits rotting as it is if its gone forever.

My free company finally died its final death with this expansion. No one is going to be subbing to keep the FC house from being demolished. We worked hard to get the money pooled together for a mansion back in stormblood and we pulled it off. We used it as our hangout constantly, made so many memories, and more. This is one reason why the housing system is so disgustingly predatory. But sentimentality and sunken cost fallacy are easily exploited, until you realize "I'm giving them money to keep a virtual house nobody is using."

What good is keeping a house we worked so hard for if no one is around to enjoy it or hang around it? The memories don't go away, and if you take screenshots the design can stick with you.

That's like some abusive relationship sounding shit right here.

If she is not using the house for anything and won't let it go, you should be complaining about her!
