Will the units on the 'high' side with functional drains increase in value?

Shite runs downhill!

Why not cut the columns on the low side and pound in some wedges until plumb and weld over?

Add a skosh for settling?

There may be a bright side to this. In 50 years, it will be a wonder of the world dwarfing the Leaning Tower of Piza. Or, not.

[frogjerk]

Is this thing going to fall over?

[patriot torch]

In the city that craps on the sidewalk. Go figure

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I believe I read that the building cost $280M to construct and that the initial solution -an outboard foundation driven to the correct depth and then attached to the exiting foundation was going to cost $200M. Imagine the headache for the developer! Imagine the bloody litigation among insurance companies!

Also imagine that just before they attach the outboard structure, the big one strikes SF and that mofo topples. Oy!

[Mount Athos]

Even their buildings aren’t straight

[LongWayHome]

I wonder how much it costs to implode this building?

[beethovenfan]

Leaning Tower of $hit?

What kind of IDIOT would live on a Third Floor where their drains go AGAINST the tilt of the building. What did they expect the result to be?

YUP!!! DUMBGRUNT :)

The building's tilt — now about 22 inches to the west due to the northwest corner sinking about 18 inches — may be causing lateral sewage pipes to not drain correctly and has already resulted in “some plugging” on the third floor

I wonder who was the 1st person to say "Oh, crap!" ;-)

Fortunately, San Francisco no longer uses indoor plumbing, so no problem. I wonder if the poop tracker map has a symbol for poop waterfalls?

[Flick Lives]

In the email from Hamburger, obtained by NBC, the engineer told the city that “sewer lines must slope (minimum of 1/8” per foot) …

—

Standard pitch for horizontal drain lines is to drop 1/4” for every foot of run. So these building drain lines are beginning to approach dead flat. This would minimally produce a very uncomfortable floor to walk across with the building being that out of level.

With the building itself almost 2 feet out of plumb, it has to be putting undue stress on the structure. Hi-rise buildings are all designed to sway, but they’re not designed to rest out of plumb. What if an exceptionally strong wind pushes on the building in the same direction it’s already tilting?

Soon to be rechristened the William J. Clinton Millennium Tower.

To the west.

On a map that’s left.

Appropriate.

Forget it, Jake. It’s San Fecesisco.

[vespa300]

Pelosi’s district has more problems with Feces then any district in the country. From her mouth to the sewage lines in this leaning tower. Everything about her stinks.

[krogers58]

Just who would want to live in this thing in such a seismically active area? I’d imagine the value of a loft or suite is virtually worthless. Who’d buy it from you? What bank would write the financing for a unit, or office?

[BobL]

“I would like there to be a pause until we know what we’re doing, and I think that construction should not resume until we can panel the best experts that this country has”

Kind of a RACIST statement, I would say.

[Moltke]

This. To a power of 100. (AvE)

Beware of some foul language!
