Because that's an extremely expensive project that nobody would use in addition to the already super expensive space that they are closing because nobody uses it.

Also I can't imagine many people want to be at work for days at a time and not go home

There are also city regulations against using office space as living space.

The downside of working remotely all my days are at work, or is it all my days are at home :-)

Not only is it expensive, it's often difficult and cumbersome to deal with zoning and occupancy laws in a office or area that was set up mainly for business use
