You’re living in a townhouse as part of an apartment complex. The apartment complex has benefits such as a pool and hot tub, indoor gym, full size basketball court, a library, and a garden. You have 2 other roommate/coworkers, and you have 6 neighbor/coworkers. A Labor neutrality agreement is guaranteed, and both tenant unions and labor unions will be voluntarily recognized.

    You have 2 other roommate

    Absolutely not.

    Japan does have some employers who pay for housing. It ends up a nightmare when they are fired or otherwise leave.

      The housing is provided independently of the job, the person just has to pay their share of rent if they quit

        In that case, this just sounds needlessly complicated. Much like US health insurance, why is the business involved here at all at this point? Just make it socialized, taxpayer-funded housing to ensure all have basic housing. People can opt out and live somewhere else, but they still owe the tax to keep the program going.

          Just make it socialized

          That is the idea, but the point is that once the construction cost is paid for, then the apartment gets managed by the people who live there
