While coverting offices to living spaces would be good for cities, there's no lack of living spaces.

There's just a glut of dragons hoarding them.

No idea if this is a common turn of phrase or your invention, but I love the "dragon" reference. People get so upset when I tell them we should "eat the rich", but not even Gaston is against killing dragons that are hoarding the village's wealth and killing our children!

You're forgetting about all the people migrating out of places where they're liable to get shot for having the wrong skin color or imprisoned for getting rid of an unwanted pregnancy, and that's roughly two thirds of the country. That's going to create a housing shortage in the few places that are still relatively safe, even without any dragons involved.
