What're the legal requirements if Google chooses to make a "company town" - ie all the other benefits are included already, perhaps they'll start throwing in a 1BR apartment within spitting distance of the campus and a tram / peoplemover connection between the two. Would they still be required to meet the Section 8 / Affordable provisions if the units were only available to employees?
- cbhl 11y agoI imagine the city would pick who gets to stay in the affordable units through a lottery or similar; IIRC, Facebook has a similar development next to their "1 Facebook Way" building. 10k housing units might be enough to give one or two years' worth of Google new hires an apartment; there's no way that it's sustainable to just throw it in as a benefit (plus the tens of thousands of existing employees would be outraged). I imagine they'd use it for temporary new-hire housing and/or intern housing.
