This is both a dumb and telling hill for the WNBA to die on. You can’t compare the W to men’s leagues on housing when the compensation and calendars are vastly different.
Team-provided housing has emerged as a flashpoint in CBA talks. @katiebarnes.bsky.social and I explored how housing works in the WNBA, why the league may no longer want to provide it and the potential ramifications:

Ian Graham's book was a lot of patting himself on the back for identifying all of the right players to sign for Liverpool, and he goes out of his way to praise Tony Bloom a lot too for being analytically minded. That's going to age really well, I imagine.
