Why don't gigantic companies build housing campuses? E.g. Google has billions in cash, they could build a town from scratch and cut hours of commute, save their employees thousands in rents, and just not shit up the housing market for everyone else.

Because it's not financially feasible to house that many people. I don't think you realize how much real estate would be needed, the cost to build, the infrastructure needed, and how much it costs to manage that much housing. It's way more than a few billion. Just do the math regarding a 10k person campus with houses/apartments that cost 250-700k each to construct. Also not everyone wants to live in the People's Republic of Facebook.

Division of labor. It's easier to have other people invest and manage things they understand while google and facebook go off and do what they know what to do. It's not that hard to understand.

most tech companies still produce physical product, but you also have the city which has housing and whatever else is needed for daily operations like food and corporate banks

go bring 10,000 people to nowhere and that's 10,000 more houses, more hospitals, police, restaurants etc etc. that is costly for an area that can be a trade hub. see old mining towns

Seriously? Not one post about how the most populated cities in the US have their land owned by jews and chinks? The only option would be to build a town in the middle of fucking nowhere and that would take decades to cultivate. And fucking lol at thinking tech companies have decades worth of collateral

I always thought about this: offices in big sky-scrapers downtown and having wagies from all the far-flung suburbs is VERY wasteful from financial (you have to compensate wagies for gas, mortgage, insurance, car payments etc etc) and environmental persepective (wagies burn lots of gas in traffic, allocate their salaries to some plastic garbage etc). For example let's say a floor in an office building is 10 feet high. What you do is install bunks with a foot print of 7' x 2' and stack them 3 high. Basically have entire floors dedicated to bunk spaces. Have your workers work and sleep in the same building. This eliminates several problems at once:
- you can have workers do 16 hour work shifts and still get plenty of sleep since they don't have to waste time on commute
- you can easily organize 24/7 operation of your organization by implementing shift system for example have half of the workers in your building do day shift and then the other half do night shift
- you substantially reduce your environmental impact by eliminating the need to commute for your workers
- you substantially reduce the pay rate for your workers since they don't have transportation and housing expenses
- you can negotiate with your local government to have your property taxes reduced since you are not putting lots of strain on the infrastructure by eliminating the need for your workers to commute
Plus if you employ H1b's they would still be happy to work for your company and you wouldn't have to listen to continuous whining if you hired some suburb-dwelling huweights. Fuck I'm smart.

The idea of company towns is nothing new. Once you begin housing people you become liable for their living conditions and problems that arise. It is insanely expensive unless it is pure slave dormitory chinese/sea style housing.

The USA is full of ghost towns that were built by companies exploiting certain resources.

Holy shit, they don't lie when they say people don't learn from history so it's doomed to repeat.

There was this little point of time in history, around the time of the industrial revolution, where the owners of companies had things like on-site housing. They also had on-site stores of various kinds. It all probably started fairly inocuous, but in short order, it quickly got to the point where the only way you could afford things is if you put that money directly back into the company. Some of them even stopped paying people in real money, and instead gave them credits they could only use at company """"businesses"""".
Not only was this system only different from feudalism in name alone, it was also incredibly damaging to anyone else who want to compete in the market. Your option was to own a factory, or operate in a completely different environment. It locked out the introduction of competition pretty much entirely.
This kind of stuff is exactly what prompted workers' rights movements. This is the kind of stuff that motivated Karl Marx. What you're suggesting has already historically proven to lead to nothing more that debt-slavery. You think wage-slaving is bad now? It's only particularly terrible because the same sort of draconian thinking has renters believing their some sort of feudal lord.

I can't believe there are people this woefully uneducated about history that also have access to the internet and claim to know something about business. You've got to be some kind of industry plant.

It could be that the corporations just facilitate that expansion mainly aimed at their employees, but with time start owning less and less. Or at the least, don't act as if they owned everything. Act as a local government in itself - an intermediary between the employees, and the real government and jew

This is true. But you have to realize communism or a similar derivative idea will eventually win out in the end simply because in any given society the poor are the majority of the population while the rich are a tiny minority. You might say something like HURR USA LE MIDDLE CLASS DURR YUROPOORS but you have to remember that the middle class is an artificial construct that was created in order to combat the threat of communism in the middle of 20th century. Since there's no real visible threat of communism around the elites are hard at work dismantling this construct.
