What "housing deductions and childcare costs" does Google provide? A web search didn't turn up much and this doesn't sound like a standard benefit.

  I also am having difficulty finding documentation for this, but I know it’s true. Many condo and apartment complexes around Google campuses have “preferred employer rates” that slash the rent for Googlers.

    I have been at Google for many years, and the only time I have ever heard of this are certain corporate housing for long-term temps working in MTV and for a while there was some subsidized intern housing. If such rates exist, they are uncommon or not often talked about. There may be better proof out there, in which case you ought to provide it. But until I see something better, I am very skeptical.

      It's possible these exist, but I'd expect they're a sense of risk-awareness on the part of business owners, not sponsored by any employer directly. If you know you'll have someone who makes >$ dollars and lives less than a mile from your condo/apartment complex, you probably have a very stable, long term leasee.
