I recall thinking when Amazon was building out SLU that they should just go ahead and build the apartment buildings too. Why let Equity Residential take the vig? At that point they could include housing in the comp package and it would essentially be a barter arrangement of work for housing. While that's still taxable, it would help maximize the ever important future free cash flow. If that pattern became widespread popular then I expect some kind of COBRA, but for housing, would be legislated.
