This is awesome, and I want to see more. If cities continue allow for more jobs than housing, big companies can push back and require that they be allowed to build housing as part of their major office plans.https://blog.google/inside-google/company-announcements/1-billion-investment-bay-area-housing/ …
Agree, but I don't grok how this make what Google is doing somehow a good idea.

I.e., imagine you wanted to pull this "we're not increasing your tax base w/o attendant housing" lever...to do it, you need to act in coordination with your largest peers. That would instead imply an announcement of a compact between SalesForce, Google, Intel, FB, Apple, etc.

You'd announce a Legalize-Housing PAC and explicitly call out non-participants, while making the cost to join high enough that you can fund the legal fights and do the public education campaigns.
