Now the USA is relying on these massive mega-corporations resolve the problems they created in the first place, and all these corporations are giving are empty

  Both yourself and Bernie say that the companies created this problem. How? It used to be that if a company brought in a bunch of high-paying jobs, governments would fall all over themselves, sometimes to a fault, to bring that company to their town/county/state. But now we can cast 20-30K workers making over $100K/year as a "problem", relieving local government of responsibility for poor zoning and taxation policy. And the "tax evasion" angle is just a distraction that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. So my question to you (and Bernie) is: how does providing a lot of well-paying jobs make a company responsible for the local housing market? As a follow-up question, what is the suggested action that a particular company take to solve this problem?

  That is a fundamentally flawed misunderstanding of the NorCal housing shortage. The causes are largely governmental and can be discovered just about anywhere.

  How is this different from a mining company providing everyone with temp housing? Think 1800s.
