Pezz - good points <<OT>> "This will of course effect the inheritance of heirs.But better that than rape the tax payer,no?"

IF they want to move. And keep in mind, those who are there were being raped previously.

There are too many personal situations to make a rational law covering who should go and who should stay.

I still say the real answer is for companies to not grow their operations there. Trust me, I know some of these people - they (executives) complain all the time about turnover but they aren't willing to do anything about it other than play accounting games with options and rhetorically demonize existing homeowners in order to appear that they really care whether their employees have a home or have to commute four hours a day.

Until someone demonstrates that recruiting and retention have a causal affect on the bottom line this month, this week, this day, this hour or this minute - it's bovine-scatology PR. To most of them, it's an ordinary operational-level manager's problem that all companies have, and if that manager can't find and get and keep the right people, they'll find someone else to do recruiting and hiring and keeping, etc.

Privately, to at least one that I know personally, it (employees finding economical housing within an hour of the office) ranks right up there with problems like "the Coke machine is always running out of Dr. Pepper."
