I had a friend I was helping get settled in Seattle who moved from the small town we both grew up in by sharing rent, it was a voluntary choice. And my roommate had lots more job opportunities than where we grew up and now he's doing really well, and I'm grateful Seattle offered that to him.

Kinda off topic though?

> He worked for AWS and he lived with roommates. Welcome to the Seattle utopia ladies and gentlemen.

Maybe he was saving a ton of money?

> Maybe Amazon should also ensure employer safety while commuting/walking to the office.

I've never looked into it myself, but they do advertise a service like this around the Seattle offices
