San Francisco: where AI money meets our rent.

It was already expensive. Now there's an AI boom — high salaries, IPO money, and rents are climbing again.

A one-bedroom in the Bay Area averages $4,400 a month — up 25% year-over-year, and nearly three times the national average. A two-bedroom? $6,000.

Do the math: $4,400 × 12 = $52,800 a year — just for rent. To afford that, I need to earn roughly $176,000 a year.

So yes, the AI revolution is here. It just forgot to send us the key to the front door.
