There are multiple factors. During the boom years San Francisco cranked up tax burdens and muddied the waters with lots of special cases. Clearing up that mess will almost certainly help. It won't address the problem directly, but i

Most of this round of AI is totally incapable of reasoning or self introspection. There are some interesting results to work with but we still have a very long way to go. Tech giants are clumsy and slow moving.
