Google have tried almost 10 years to provide housing for their workers in Mountain View. AFAIK, the city has consistently rejected its plan until a new pro-development mayor gets elected, presumably due to the current significant presence of Googlers. Now they have an approval for 9,100 units of housing in North Bayshore, but I guess it will take another 10 years for the actual planning and development.
