This is why zoning is really bad. Those company could have converted some of those space into housing. Provide it to the employee as benefit for cheap/free. I believe quite significant number of employee would happily live on campus.
- bigbillheck 5y agoLots of office space is simply not suitable for conversion into living space.
- matz1 5y agoWhat I mean by conversion including demolishing the office building and building apartment instead not just retrofit existing office building to be a living space.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoOne step closer to a company town. And makes the prospect of a job change that much more painful.
- matz1 5y agoYes, it can be painful but not necessarily have to. Its not like there is no way to mitigate the pain.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoHow does one mitigate the pain of having to move out of company housing because of a job change?
- matz1 5y agoOne way, the company could maybe give some amount of money to help with the moving out cost or maybe allow for the employee to stay for a bit longer while they looking for new place to live.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoStill that's a lot of hassle compared to just not having to move, such as from independent housing.
- matz1 5y agoIt maybe but independent housing has it downside: commute time and high cost.
- bamboozled 5y agoHow is zoning really bad ?
- matz1 5y agoBecause they can't just convert some of the space in their campus to housing because of zoning.
