I just don't think that's true. At Google or Facebook or wherever you're not getting a floor to yourself and a personal admin/assistant as a junior engineer, but you can as an SVP. Similarly as a contractor for an external services company you aren't going to get all the perks as the employees of the company. And they have to be separate for tax reasons. And of course this is shitty. I think there needs to be something done about the housing market and general CoL in the area though, as well as asking one employer to pay a bit more. Having Facebook subsidize the area might look great while they have money but isn't sustainable; they should be putting pressure on Facebook to back/lobby for affordable housing initiatives on behalf of it's employees.
