Facebook’s New Company Town

Thursday, 03 October 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Facebook is building a housing development near its campus in Menlo Park, California. The $120 million development within walking distance of Facebook’s headquarters will feature 394 housing units, along with amenities ranging from a sports bar to doggy day care. The Wall Street Journal says the project conjures up memories of company towns from the turn of the 20th century, where workers lived in towns owned by their employers while being provided with housing, health care and other services.
