Headline: This isn't a company town and nobody is going into debt to the company.

I know it violates the guidelines but I suggest you actually read the article and reply to that, rather than just making things up in your head and replying to the fantasy.

How deliciously ironic. How about, from the very article itself:

"So a growing number of employers around the country have decided to build their own housing for workers, mostly for them to rent but sometimes to buy. "

The article is about Cook Medical, which is having homes built and arranging for them to be sold to employees. Nobody is renting anything.

In fact, the line you quoted is from the first of exactly two paragraphs in the entire story that mentions any other companies (and the second is a historical reference).
