TL;DR

AI companies in San Francisco are disrupting the rental market by offering free apartments and rent stipends to their employees, creating a competitive advantage that disadvantages regular renters. These benefits are mostly available to employees working near company offices in popular neighborhoods like Mission Bay and SoMa, driving up rents and making it harder for non-tech workers to find affordable housing.
