communal kitchens sounds like a freaking nightmare. Thats not realistic or practical. You are asking people to "just change their culture and social norms".
You seem to think that everyone would want what you want.
If it's not to your taste, don't live there. But there are thousands of unhoused people who may very well enjoy that vs living in a shelter or on the street.
Office floor plates are typically far too large for residential. Bedrooms require windows facing the exterior by code. Then the plumbing requirement will gut the building.
Offices already have plumbing on every floor for bathrooms.
And the idea to change over offices to residential is gaining traction ... so go talk to them about how it can't be done.
