The builder, Millennium Partners, is a MAJOR donor to the Left according to the three founding partners FEC pages:

Christopher Jeffries, Philip Aarons, Philip Lovett

Perhaps the contributions should have gone to building the damn building correct the first time?

I bet it would just lean straight if it had been a Trump Tower. May be let Trump fix and make it great again?

Do these sinking high-rise residents actually ride the elevators?

That could precipitate a heart attack right there.

“Dodson and other residents blame developers for what they say is a flawed design. The tower’s foundation, for instance, uses piles driven 60 to 90 feet into landfill, rather than the pricier option of going down at least 240 feet to bedrock.”

Yeah, nothing like a luxury building where they cut costs somewhere that no one will notice.

Quickly now; before it falls, sell it to the Chinese. They’re buying up California as fast as they can.

I guess the middle class taxpayers of California who have a 9.3% tax rate could be called upon to suck it up and pay much much more. The city of San Francisco certainly should never qualify for any federal aid on anything as they are a self-proclaimed Sanctuary City. The Treasury department, under Trump, should simply go get a court injunction from a friendly federal Judge to cutoff all funds to said Sanctuary cities (directly or indirectly) until Congress specifically appropriates such funds for said Sanctuary cities due to the excess costs that their “sanctuary” status is inflicting on the rest of the country.

Seriously, if you are going to attempt to build anything in San Fran you are going to have to give lots of cash to the left, because that’s the party in power... If you tried to build in a Republican controlled area, the donations would be to R’s....

Not everything is politics.
