A San Francisco landlord has drawn widespread criticism after listing his two bedroom apartment exclusively for tenants who support the Make America Great Again movement and Israel. The property, located in Sunnyside and advertised for $3,500 per month, included a clause in the listing specifying these political requirements. The advertisement was removed from Zillow shortly after public backlash, though it remains unclear if the unit has been rented.
The incident comes amid a surge in demand for housing in San Francisco, driven by an influx of tech workers following the artificial intelligence boom. Many social media users expressed frustration over the politicized rental criteria, highlighting the already challenging nature of securing housing in the city. The landlord declined to comment when approached by reporters, further fueling public debate over discrimination in the rental market.
