you ask this about a corporation that

- makes its new hires wear a propeller beanie
- is building a college dorm for its employees
- doles out human contact ("massage credits") to people who work hard
- has a literal ball pit with a slide in its lobby

i support the building of housing in theory, but lomarf if you think it's not gonna be (1) a family-unfriendly worker hole for unmarried 20-30somethings to keep living like they did at stanford and (2) a company-town-esque ploy to keep people at their jobs longer and return some of their salary to the employer

like, gently caress, let google get into the real estate business. why not. let them build giant apartment blocks and actually drive down the cost of housing for everyone, instead of further stratifying and separating the Googlers from the Rest Of Us.

100 percent of units should be considered "affordable", given the metrics i'm sure they're using to determine that, but i agree that 10,000 units would be a great step forwards for the area. here's to hoping.
