Would you take a job that pays $15/hr but provides housing at no cost? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

You're living in a townhouse as part of an apartment complex. The apartment complex has benefits such as a pool and hot tub, indoor gym, full size basketball court, a library, and a garden. You have 2 other roommate/coworkers, and you have 6 neighbor/coworkers. A Labor neutrality agreement is guaranteed, and both tenant unions and labor unions will be voluntarily recognized.

I have more details in other threads, but it's distinct from a company town in that the job is paid by the government, the housing is provided independently of the job, and the housing is controlled by the people who live there

    If that were the case then why would your roommates and neighbors be fellow employees? Also how would the government afford said housing if they're also subsidizing the company you work for to allow them to be competitive for employees while only paying $15/hr?
