Tsk tsk tsk. Sounds like some folks in Google should start talking to their van-dweller employees (or promote one) to better address the cost of housing for employees.
This solution sounds like a shift towards company housing (e.g. coal, oil). Why not go whole hog and make a company town? I trust Google more than Oil/Coal companies given their employees are generally happy. I think Google is not being very imaginative.
Is it the time to set up an ERE coop in the Bay Area? I think the Bay Area is a really great choice for an ERE city if you can find a housing solution. It's been in my head for at least a couple years to have a piece of property and a business that caters to van-dwellers. I have to think that Google and other tech companies would support such an organization similarly to how they support various other efforts in the area.
