> A number of people spend significant time working for Google as 'visiting experts' (think professors on sabbatical) and that effort is hindered by the challenges of finding a nice place to stay, except there is housing for a few thousand people already at the airfield (formerly 'base housing') which could be repurposed for that. I lived in that housing for about 5 years as a kid. I have lots of memories of the base (Hangar one, the movie theater, Baskin-Robbins, the community pool, McDonald's, the pea patches behind the housing), particularly since, as a Navy brat, that was one of the few places I lived for more than a year or two in my entire childhood. I like the idea of going on a trip to Google for some reason and being put up in the same townhouse I lived in then, or one of my friends' houses.
