What about all those empty building downtown? Why are we not thinking of turning a portion of them into apartments?

I disagree with this. The people are going to move to whatever city regardless. They can either live in a place with high density, that is close to transit and jobs. Or they can all commute in from the suburbs. The commuting is far more damaging.
Converting office buildings to residential is a good idea, but, once again, this requires a loosening of the zoning restrictions.
