Image From Space Shows Downtown San Francisco Sinking Slowly Around Millennium Tower
NBC Bay Area ^ | 23 Nov 2021 | Jaxon Van Derbeken

Although the Millennium Tower is the third heaviest building in the Bay Area, researchers confirm the entire downtown area is sinking as well.

“I looked at every building in the Bay Area, so just under a million buildings,” said U.S Geological Survey research geophysicist Tom Parsons, who estimates that over the last century, 3.5 trillion pounds of development and human activity – including the subsidence tied to loss of groundwater -- have led to an estimated settlement of three inches across the entire Bay Area.

Turns out that at an estimated 686 million pounds, the Millennium Tower is the third heaviest building in the city. The top nine all weigh more than 300-million pounds, but the only one that’s leaning significantly is the Millennium. Groundwater loss from adjacent construction has been blamed for the problem by the tower’s developers, while geotechnical experts say the key is that its foundation is not rooted in bedrock.

Matthew 7

24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

Which is why, every time I hear a global-warming moron say “The oceans are rising!!!!”, I say “How do you know the land isn’t sinking?”

Yep, hell is reclaiming its own. Most of the residents won’t notice anyway.

When it collapse in on itself will it turn into a black hole? Can we call it a blue dwarf before it goes?

The only question I have about S.F. is whether it is a modern-day incarnation of Sodom or of Gomorrah?

IAC, the sooner it sinks into oblivion, the better...

In related news supposedly Manhattan NY is lighter mow than it was when the Indians sold it off to the white devil.

In unrelated news I just heard an ad on the radio urging people to report hate crimes to the FBI because the fbi investigates such things. They’re playing it 3 or 4 times an hour. This the most chilling thing I’ve ever heard anywhere period. I mean start thinking about what exactly constitutes a “hate crime”…

Reporter says it is especially bad because the sea level is rising at the same time.

That's as far as I got.

I’m waiting for the news when it falls completely over. The rate of tilt will increase like a hockey stick graph.

At work during a presentation I was asked about rising seas. I countered it was more the ground sinking in places. The looks on the faces was amazing. It shows the depth of indoctrination of climate change.

Probably attributable to the Feces that smells so bad and it is around all over this building and it is by the homeless people.

We use to just put these folks in jail and now they are all over the place.
