Your good solution cannot be implemented by handing a rent check to the apt manager every month. My bachelor pad experience with dropping off the check to someone other than my employer was not as intellectually and emotionally stimulating as your goal.
A good analogy to google barracks would be .mil and I was in the USAR in the very early 90s starting about a year after the first middle east war, as what boils down to a very low level DBA / sysadmin MOS (which due to reorg no longer exists) and the weird parts of living on base would definitely be security checkpoints and knowing your job and your housing are inextricably linked, making looking for a new job a little weird. Oh and your day time "boss" inspects your living quarters occasionally, so there is no separation between work/life, although, weird as it might sound to non .mil people, it wasn't really a problem.
I wouldn't sign a lease contract to live on-base at google without an airtight employment contract to get paid by google. I can't imagine how weird it would be to get a new job or get fired or get downsized and still have to live with now ex-coworkers.
I could see a google half way house, where you just immigrated from the other side of the planet this morning or the girlfriend kicked you out last night, so chill out on campus for a week or maybe a month till you get your stuff together. Part of a google hotel, perhaps, for business meetings. Or just a partnership with zillions of existing hotels and extended stay hotels.
