> you can keep on living there when you're not needed and there's tons of people waiting in line for your spot who're willing to do it for less

That "need" is supplied by Facebook, et al, who have this race to provided the most "perks" to their employees.

And at a certain point, you're going to find there are less and less people willing to "do it for less" due to simple economies of scale, cost and time.

And (hopefully) the bubble will burst.

Unfortunately, that point is well below minimum wage. You will always have a line of people willing to "do it for less" until you make it illegal to pay less.
