I wonder what might change at tech companies if they approached things this way? Both the Tannery and Google, for all the high-tech talk of supporting lifestyles, etc, still have massive surface lots that are full of employees. Do they charge for this parking, without any subsidy? And thinking of something like Conestoga college enrollment, what kind of deal could you get for employees if every tech company that spent any time in the Tannery was a part of a collective that bought transit passes for all employees, would it be even half as cheap as Conestoga College was able to get (would be ~$1/day/employee at that worse rate, less than any piece of a catered lunch).
