That only works if you have 4 new people who want to live there.
We could probably achieve that through immigration for a while, but there is still a sustainability problem that keeping some constraints on housing construction solves. I say this as someone who would love cheap housing in a desirable area.
Empty buildings tend to create problems, and the energy to tear them down/convert them to something else often isn't there once the population begins decreasing.
