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?
