OT to the article but following up on some other comments about van living. I don't think it will be long before one of the big tech companies opens a dorm. There's no way it hasn't been discussed somewhere already.
There was an article last month on "dorms for grownups" http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/11/coliving.. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/11/coliving.... and the big tech companies already offer so many perks would access to a company dorm actually hurt at this point?
Of course this is common place in China already for the factory workforce...
- hkmurakami 11y agoI paid $100/mo for my corporate dorm in Japan. It was pretty dingy, but there were better, well designed studio and 1BR arrangements for $150 that would open up after a year or so that you could move into. I'd roughly estimate that this was 1/5 the cost of market housing. I had to move out because the particular one I was in was too close to industrial smog, but I have friends who still live in a $150/mo corporate dorm after 6 years working there. Not a bad arrangement at all since many of us went home exclusively to sleep anyways.
