Presumbly there would be restaurants in Shoreline in this scenario, and Google employees would walk to the restaurant to spend their money, just like in downtowns across the world. Or they'd bring lunch from home.

Sterilizing with Wolbachia is "natural" and thus reduces time-to-market versus a GMO-based solution. The Verily folks are well aware of gene drives and CRISPR, but they're working to get a useful profitable product out to mar
