I like this idea. Couple that with shifting to more working from home positions. Free up office space that can be converted into housing instead of wasting money/resources clearing land and constructing a new building. Meanwhile, it saves the company money that would be used to rent office space and pay for utilities. The worker spends less money/time commuting, it reduces fuel emissions, and yields greater productivity for the employer.

Can we make this happen?...

Edit: Just noticed the community after wondering in from browsing all. I'm no where near Boston haha. Still would love to see this catch on.
