In many places there's enough vacancy to do that with either exiting appartements, or with empty office space waiting to be converted.

The answer to why it hasn't happen probably is complicated: lack of political will, ideology, the cost of building/buying appartements then maintaining and managing them so they don't turn into a shithole, NYMBY, etc
