I just don't think this is going to end well. Reminds me of what Muhammad Ali said when asked what would happen if he ever fought Wilt Chamberlain......."Timberrrr"

A twelve story podium?
Freaky.

That’s interesting. Is the financial district built on top of fill, by any chance?

That is a lot of caulk.

If the podium was the same height as the tower, the gap would be greater.

It would be interesting to place a marble on the floor at the top.

I thought they had already beefed up the foundation. Wonder where it would be if they hadn’t done that.

Does anybody actually stand at a 12-story high podium and give a speech?

Who can hear you on the street?

Somebody is going to get sued over this.
There will be ongoing and steadily increasing expenses just to keep this building within regulations of safety.
Especially now, that everyone in the Bay Area knows about it.
Builder reputations will be a-burnin’.

A Deepak Chopra type might tell them it’s all an illusion. The Tower is standing still and the rest of the world is moving upward.

OMMMMMMMMM

According to the article it has also SUNK 18 INCHES.

An entire story will be a basement in the near future?
I am not going into that tower, and probably no where near either.

San Francisco: It’s not JUST a literal sh*thole, its also unstable and off-balance. Sad to see what has happened to that once beautiful city.

third tallest building in San Fransicko built on SF Bay mud

(and reportedly without foundational pillars into bedrock far below?)

this doesn’t look like it will end well (except for the attorney fees, of course)

I think a lawyer should sue and place a lien on the building
