In fact, I'm pretty sure that building apartments to rent to employees was part of Google's most recent proposal to the Mountain View city council.

- raywu 10y agoGoogle's proposal (2015) for the new campus did not include housing: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/27/google-unveils-plan-for-new-corporate-campus/?_r=0 http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/27/google-unveils-plan... >>> One big issue is still outstanding: Google’s proposal does not include new housing for the area, but company executives have said on several occasions that they want to add housing near their campus. More recent article points to 9000 units proposed by anther company: http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2016/01/13/sobrato-kick-starts-residential-in-mountain-views.html http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2016/01/13/sobrato-k... >>> Sobrato’s proposal — which is still in early form and could yet change — is the first application for a project that includes housing in North Bayshore, but others could follow. The council has identified roughly a half-dozens sites where housing is being studied, and has laid the groundwork for up to 9,000 new units. Most of those potential housing sites are owned by Google, which has publicly stated its interest in redeveloping at least some of them for housing, though it has not moved forward on any plans.
