I don't believe company run housing would make the cities any more or less useful, except perhaps the shops. If you believe the Cities would be useless entirely because less people are standing in it, I don't believe your issue is with company housing, but the game itself instead.

Now, if someone were able to succeed where I failed and manage to get Ul'dah to chat in a friendly manner on a regular basis, it would be a different story altogether. But as is, options never hurt.
