How the hell there isn't a giant apartment complex mandated, rather than forbidden, as part of these big tech company campuses is something I've scratched my head on.

My best theory is that having to sing "Sixteen Tons" day after day in music classes has forever vilified anything approaching the idea of a company town...

A lot of new construction is residential on top of light commercial. In Culver City (in the middle of LA) they're supposedly building offices for Apple and Amazon which has adjacent housing being constructed as well (although not stacked).

I think the Googleplex is built around wetlands where land use is heavily restricted, and they couldn't get permission to add any housing.
