Either would I but it does happen more often than you probably think. Structures are only deleted when a character is deleted, they are not removed (oversight maybe) when a character is idle (account inactive). I have a feeling the Dev's intentionally leave structures in play for inactive characters in a hope they might return to the game

This is accurate.
It was a very intentional distinction made early on in live play - because when we began NO structures deleted (if you deleted the character or not).
When they "fixed" it, all structures owned by a deleted character are deleted in the next server reset, but if you simply cancel your account (and your characters remain intact) the buildings stay as long as someone is on the admin list and paying maintainance. The only thing an admin can't do is change the name/redeed.
Of course, there is always the disclaimer about some point in the future they might need to wipe the cancelled characters out - but it has yet to happen and one would assume with the lengths LA/SOE tends to go to bring back cancelled players I believe you will find if it does happen it will be well-announced.

People actually trust cross server lot trading with their factories and houses?!?!??!?!? *boggle*
All it would take is your trade partner quiting the game and having all his lots poof and you lose a house full of irriplacable resources, or a factory full of resources and components andfinished products.
There's no way I'd trust another person with that much of my livelyhood.
