I applaud your sentiment. If I didn’t already fear a general collusion from the big players I too could get behind this idea. Sadly, the logical outcome of company towns in the kind of monopsonistic environment we’re in in the US is that there will be even less incentive to making housing easier to build outside of these company towns, and wages will continue to be depressed, with less mobility for workers.

There are no solutions to housing affordability that don't have risks or hurt someone. Not acting and allowing for this insane market to continue would be far worse than dealing with problematic company towns in the future.
