But that doesn't even make sense...suppose his cousin lived in town and
he was staying with her instead, for example...are you saying that anyone
who opted out of the company-provided housing had to pay for what they

simpler for the company, i.e. a dummy employee. It's really the person
opting to rent their own accommodations.
