The Reagan White House moved to lower tax rates for developers in the 1980s and then years of low interest rates glutted downtowns with office buildings. Time's up.
It's more than that though, where do you bathe in an office?
I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's a lot of work to redo the plumbing, electrical, install kitchens, and seal those spaces into secure private zones with natural light exposure.
What I hear is mostly water pipes. Commercial buildings have them concentrated in bathrooms and hard to split for each residence.
I know there are bathroom less really cheap places but that attract type of people which property management/urban development corps dont want so they may also be reluctant for that change.

Thank you for being open to change.
It sucks seeing so many people recognize that the current system isn't working, and then insist that the fix is to keep doing the same thing.
