A reminder from 30 years ago what happens when you build up land mass using dirt and gravel with no appreciable bedrock underneath:

They may be counting on SF never having an earthquake. LOL

I'm thinking Safeco Field (Mariners) and CenturyLink Field (Seahawks) in Seattle. Both are built on or near old tide flats and landfill, and I would think that land would be very unstable in a major quake.

We have an area by our marina that has been a field forever. Its mainly from backfill. They recently started build a huge apartment complex on it. I cant believe they got permission. Oceanfront property money overcame common sense.
