I've seen a coverage on this on the Dutch news not too long ago. People working for Google living in a trailer while paying tousands on rent.
This is why I dont get that these large companies buid their head offices there. Everything is super expensive.
Why not spread out over the country and build offices in cheaper areas.
In the end, whats the point to work for Apple, Gogole or whatever if you make a lot of money but you lose it all on living expenses?
I guess people just go there for their resume and then leave again, which must also suck for these companies.
