Since the mid-19th century, the city of San Francisco has expanded its shoreline by dumping debris into its coastal marshlands and transferring sand and clay from the ocean bed onto land. Much of downtown San Francisco, including parts of Mission Street, where Millennium Tower was built, is constructed on this loose, wet soil.

Oh, the supreme irony! The tower was build on coastal marshlands that were filled in by construction debris and other trash and then built upon. Isn't that the ultimate violation of Environmentalist sentiment? Filling marshlands in with trash and debris and then building on it????? The idea that the uber-wealthy Libs who live in the tower are losing their investment because its built on unstable marshlands is delicious.

Filling marshlandswetlands in with trash and debris and then building on it?????

FTFY.

Got to use the proper environmentalist terms. Of course, when you state it this way, you realize that SF has been doing for years what none of us peons would have been allowed to do.

Irony — it's not just buying an Armani suit with an extra pair of pants, and then burning a hole in the jacket.
