Many office buildings have been left empty since the start of the pandemic. To make them into housing, they might need new windows, altered HVAC systems and rewiring of electrical systems.
It’d be expensive to do, but it is doable.

Why this isn't already being done is beyond reason.
(And to those who automatically say "They" will just destroy the spaces, fuck you. Teach people who need to be taught. Many have never been properly cared for and taught.)
@TheConversationUS American bureaucrats stop hard at expensive. Also when given the pragmatic answer to the question "why," they chuckle and swivel their chair to the direction of "empty office building" lobby.
Our politicians all suck. All of them. Even the ones I like.
