George Pullman made a town outside of Chicago for workers to build his railcars. It didn't end well:
"the town and its design were... a paternalistic system that took away men's rights as citizens, including the right to control their own domestic environment"
Happy that google is making this investment; it's worth a shot even if it is far the ideal way to build housing. Hopefully the NIMBYism that defines this area won't kill it.
