    I wonder if it would be possible to require all future construction to be designed in a way that it could easily be switched between commercial/residential. Like each floor of an office building has to have plumbing roughed it to support x number of toilets/showers on each floor, stuff like that.

      Short answer is nope. Commercial and residential building codes are very different, as are the engineering requirements.
