Alternately, Facebook can take dictatorial control of Menlo Park and address the issue that way. But there may be some potential downsides to this as well, and other voters and activists react rather badly when well-compensated people or their employers mobilize against the policies that drive expensive housing. It's a losing situation all around. What's left that might be a winning option? Convert contract services into in-house services, (and downside services until the costs are considered acceptable)?
