San Francisco Mayor Lurie unveils renter protection plan amid AI-fueled housing emergency
Median rents in San Francisco were up nearly 26% from the year before, according to Apartment List.
The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce agreed to enlist its members to help with the Know Your Rights campaign.
Lurie said San Francisco is in a rent emergency.
“And we can no longer be a city of opportunity if our small-business owners, our creatives and our artists choose to live somewhere else because they cannot afford to live here.”
