That's how you end up with the factory-campus style places like the iPhone factories in China where the workers basically never leave.

On a more serious note, though, some employers do want to build housing near their headquarters (such as Google, for example), but are blocked by city councils. From what I read here, it sounds like you can't put up new housing anywhere near SF.

The Mountain View City council approved Google's proposal to build company housing near their HQ.

... on the Bay side of 101. Only two roads get you over 101, and they are jammed during commute hours.

Ive always suggested that the tech companies need to just start setting up satellite campuses in the central valley. Plenty of cheap housing out there.
