I did a postdoc at a hospital in a HCOL city which offered still expensive but below-market hospital owned apartments for postdocs. It was a massive perk at the time and I'm not sure I would have even taken the job without it. Even setting aside the cost part, it was a massive relief just not having to visit the city in advance and trying to find an apartment in a brutal housing market and dealing with sketchy landlords. Of course it came with the stressful side of knowing that if I ever left the job (or was fired), I'd also need to move out of the apartment as well within a month.
