The rate at which houses die needs to be slowed dramatically.

I'm more for an idea like this one. Perhaps when the house is at 0% you could "kick the door down" and loot it. Once the door has been kicked down the house will remain active for 2 days, after that the whole house collapses. Perhaps a collapsed house could leave behind more building material then they currently do.

However... I think the rate which houses deteriorate at is fine.
