I would wager that MANY more would follow if public transportation was improved to these locations. Lower cost, easier access for employees living outside of the city, less non-essential regulations...

But, in the context of the conversation, I think that it would be a really interesting to see the results of a hypothetical poll that surveys life science employees asking if they would be interested in housing that is subsidized by their employers IF it meant living in a building that was dedicated to that purpose. I would bet that the response would be overwhelmingly positive amongst the younger, single employees, whose salaries have not yet reached a level where they can sustain themselves. Additionally, it would probably be a HUGE advantage for the sponsoring company/companies in terms of attracting and retaining talent and in productivity, as employees wouldn't be traveling from afar, may be able to leave bad living arrangements, etc.
