A project to reinforce the Millennium tower foundation came to a halt after it was found the building had sunk an inch
San Francisco’s notorious sinking luxury high-rise is still sinking, even amid a $100m project designed to fix the issue.
...by 2014, it had sunk 18in and was leaning 14in to the west. The high-rise had initially opened to fanfare, with all 419 units quickly selling out and had high-profile residents such as the former San Francisco 49ers player Joe Montana, and the Giants outfielder Hunter Pence.
Shortly after work began, however, the sinking and tilting accelerated; the building now has a tilt of 22 inches,

Reminds me of the word answer Muhammad Ali gave in answer to a question about what would happen if he ever fought Wilt Chamberlain.......”TIMMMBERR”
I wouldn’t spend a night in that leaning tower of liberals.
I dun learned a new word...
A new tourist attraction....The Leaning Tower of San Francisco.
My Nephews in-laws are in that Building. His Father in-law is on the Owners HOA Board last I heard helping with the Law Suits against the developer.
Ironic and symbolic. Just like Ca. No matter how much money you throw at it, it is still sinking...
Playing with cornstarch.
Are people still living in this building? I’m getting visions of the Florida condo . . .
I don’t know how they sleep at night. What would it do in a strong quake?
If I had a condo in that building, I get the heck out even if I had to take a loss. And from the publicly disclosed owners, they can probably afford to do that.
To answer your question, I could not sleep at night. Running through my mind is that a prominent Denver lawyer was on the phone with his wife in their Florida condo, when it collapsed. That is something I most definitely do not want to experience.
Its California. No one has had the decency to evict the owners?
Homeless people could live there Rent Free!
I’ve been trying to sell them an eight-inch brass clinometer off a WWII destroyer. $800. So far, no takers.
You’d think their lawyers would want to show increasing tilt!
;-)
I’ll bet Nanny P put 3X the required amount to fix in the “stimulus” bill. So we’ll be paying the freight and she’ll skim the rest for vodka and ice cream.
Wow!
At a time of many terrors, this one jumps out.

Yes and have a massive underground party, FREE just like the Prince of Wallachia!!!
The old guy sure knew how to throw a party!!!
Very expensive, but worth the trouble.
For this application, a rock on a string suspended from the ceiling above an encircled “X” would suffice.
And you could have a red-line circle noting ‘time to go’.
Just like this one, only different.

See link in #34.
In this case, not something I would make fun of.
“Just like this one, only different.”
Let me guess that sign’s location: Between Rawlins and Casper right?
I had a mountain bike in a roof carrier on a road trip. The bike was vertical when i left Casper and almost horizontal when i stopped for gas in Rawlins.
I would just hate that to be my last contact with my wife.
