Unfortunately. TechCrunch is one of the very few media outlets that I can say I've put in my mental spamfilter. They flipped my bozo bit years ago due to the number of times their reporting on situations I'm close to has deviated breathlessly from the on-the-ground reality of the situation. I actually read and enjoyed their recent article on San Francisco housing... But the responsible thing for me to do next is to follow up via alternate information sources if I want to know more, because I can't trust TC to relay the facts without narrative distortion. They are very good storytellers who allow the crafted narrative to outstrip the reality too often for my taste.
