Couldn’t they do dorm style with shared bathroom facilities? Usually office buildings have much better ventilation than private residences.

They do have a good amount of ventilation, since they’re high occupancy, but you would need to run vents to all the units, at least, rather than large ducts to larger, more open spaces.

Would you want to live in that?

Depends on the price point.

And it doesn't really matter what any one person would or wouldn't want to live like. I wouldn't want to live in a 200sqft apartment in NYC, but apparently a lot of people are willing to pay a lot of money to do so.

That's not the correct question.

The correct question is if homeless people sleeping on the concrete - would they want to live in that. And probably a good many of them wouldn't.
