Don't extrapolate based on one sensationalistic article.
Most engineers employed at Google (or any other company) in Silicon Valley have enough to rent or even buy houses. Actually, a lot of other workers who make one half (or even less) that salary manage as well.
People who choose to live in cars or on campus have something else going on with them. It's not just about money, most of us will always choose to have their own place, no matter how small, than living this kind of life.
I don't doubt what the Quora discussion describes happens, I'm just claiming these are very few and far between exceptions.
