Ignoring the shuttles which I don't think conclusively illustrate your point; Google has for years threatened to develop land into homes in San Jose so workers can choose to live closer, with the idea of doing exactly what OP suggests, but like so many Google projects, never seems to pan out:
When we bought our home in the Bay Area in 2017, the San Jose offices Google planned on building were on all of the brochures. I was convinced that if the city is giving the incentives and Google is buying up so much property that it must be just a matter of time. I learned it’s not that simple.
