The quote directly links Lurie's AI boom to rents rising by 25 percent or more.

YES Zumper
AI-related job and money inflows are linked to sharply higher San Francisco rents.
“Thanks to the Bay Area’s influx of money and jobs in the race for artificial intelligence supremacy, San Francisco rents are skyrocketing: one-bedroom rent soared 23% since July 2025 to $4,180 as two-bedroom prices jumped 26% to $6,020.”
YES Crystal Chen, co-author of the Zumper report
Chen linked AI-sector hiring with high earners returning to San Francisco while rents reached records.
“AI sector hiring is pulling high earners back into the city, and there's just minimal new construction in the pipeline, and our own data shows that active listings in San Francisco are down about 30% year-over-year”
YES Zumper
Zumper’s report documents a nearly 22% rent increase.
“That’s according to a new report from Zumper that revealed SF rents have gone up nearly 22%.”
