I think the issue is that fairly immature college students are making enough money to live a mature life, and they are thus being transplanted into communities of middle-class people in the bay area. Without commenting on the pay of these interns, perhaps Google should consider arranging centralized summer housing for these interns purely because of the difficulty of the local market. It would be yet another perk for recruitment, and ostentatious behavior by interns could be curtailed to Google-controlled areas. The intern I recruited for the summer in SF seized my offer of an air mattress on my floor for the summer, and I can't help but think that these other interns are just being forced into an awkward, foreign environment rather than intending to cause ruckus.
