I could see it working if it were indirect and at arms length. A bit of a planned neighborhood that included High and medium density housing near the factory, maybe kick a few bucks the developers way to get it built right. That way there is supply of reasonably priced housing nearby. I wouldn't directly subsidize it though, that would become bigger shackles than work provided health care.

>>I wouldn't directly subsidize it though, that would become bigger shackles than work provided health care. Correct, factory towns worked out great for the factory owners - not so much for the people that worked there. Having a good supply of affordable housing nearby any facility that needs to hire a lot of low to middle paying people is probably a good thing, but letting the company run and control it will inevitably lead to abuses imo.
