now that you say this, it is also so wasteful for all of us to leave our homes empty while we go to work! we need to illegalize homeownership, and we need to require all landlords to host multiple families in their properties! It's not only the empty space, the empty beds and toilet, but also the fridges that keep consuming power, even though nobody is actively using them!

Well yeah it is, but is most likely much harder to solve co-living like that in a way that's acceptable for almost any people. Whereas what was suggested here is that people pool their resources and lend/rent to each other. 

Nothing about forcing anything on anyone, and people who want to be able to have exactly the CPU they need at any given time would probably not be interested.
