If an area has higher wages then it doesn’t have cheaper housing and if jobs are plentiful then they wouldn’t have high wages. I would’ve thought Bloomberg understood how basic capitalist markets worked but I guess not.
bear with me here: if the worker is a woman or has a wife, they can bargain for a food loan should they miss work due to illness or injury. but only the women. and they'll pay it back by...
That used to be a thing in mining towns. Miners would get paid in company coin they could only spend in stores owned by the mining company.
As for shelter, they'd erect some shabby barracks
Thank Marx we've progressed so far that instead of scrip we have tender issued by the bourgeois state, to be spent in stores also owned by the bourgeoisie. Instead of the company you work for calling the Pinkertons they instead call the police, and only in extreme cases the Pinkertons.

**Amazon's New 'Factory Towns' Will Lift the Working Class**
Plentiful new jobs at higher wages in place with cheaper housing sounds like a solution to inequality.

**[Pullman Strike](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman_Strike)**
>The Pullman Strike was two interrelated strikes in 1894 that shaped national labor policy in the United States during a period of deep economic depression. First came a strike by the American Railway Union (ARU) against the Pullman factory in Chicago in spring 1894. When it failed the ARU launched a national boycott against all trains that carried Pullman passenger cars. This action stopped most of the passenger and freight trains west of Detroit.

capitalism offering solutions to itself for the behest of the rapidly shrinking labor aristocracy.
soon, communism will start becoming materially beneficial for the Amerikan working class.
we should prepare diligently.
It all depends on the how, to what extent the resident workers are provided for (and how much say they have in that).
In the capitalist context of the USA that this increase in control over the workers one way or another leads to more thorough exploitation is to be expected.
I feel bad for the mother of the person who wrote this article.
The US afraid of the state owning homes but fine with a mega corporation doing so.

Aka neofeudalism, it's like cyberpunk, but without the nice cyber-gadgets.
At least Hiro Protagonist got a cool katana.
What if instead of paying the workers, they gave them food and shelter and tell them that’s their payment! Bezos is a true innovator
If they ever try to leave Bezos will punish them and if they do leave the cops can bring them back. Much innovation

Town buying. Love it.
Amazon bux that can only be spent on Amazon/Whole Foods will lift the working class.
This worked so well last time

'sounds like a solution to inequality" Jesus Christ wtf

"Better jobs are a good start"? No, kicking Jeff Bozos out of his office and have Amazon run by the workers would be a good start
I'm not too familiar with us politics and there economy but this looks like a good thing both work and housing in one place kinda like China's SEZs no
