Why bother paying rent when you can shower, eat, work out, do laundry, and sleep at your office?
What's so good about that? I do all that in my workplace as well.
Granted, I work out of my house.

If these are California-based Googlers then I would say it saves them a heck of a lot of money. Rent is terribly expensive over there (but not as expensive as buying).

I think in that case, it comes down to standard of living at the work place. How well can the person live at the workplace. I would bet that living in the office at Google is really nice compared to living at the factory complex in China. Mind you, I have never been to a Chinese factory or to China for that matter.
