since it opened over a former landfill in 2009
When did they change the Law or Code?? I know for a fact that previously you could Never Build on a landfill, most old landfills are Golf Courses with luxury homes around it.
That’s not the problem. They didn’t reach bedrock with the pylons. Building over a landfill wouldn’t be an issue if they did that.
All involved are sweating blood, that the soil tests showed the disturbed ground, was accounted for and is shown in the documents.
We had a landfill about 1/2 mile from us and that is exactly what it is a golf course with beautiful homes built around it!!! I am STUNNED they would build a huge high rise on a landfill!!! I am more stunned that IDIOTS actually paid millions for their units knowing it was built on a landfill!!!
SF did a lot of land reclamation early in the 20th century, the Marina neighborhood is built over it, the follow-on to one of SF's world's fairs. Of course, the prospect of a large quake demolishing the city may mitigate their concern over building on landfill.
Boston’s Back Bay is built on landfill.
