Ritzy San Francisco condo tower is now leaning 26 INCHES with tilt set to progress...

I wouldn\'t mind. It\'s just another boring glass box. But the tilt is
invisible, fraction of a degree, hardly the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which

It wouldn\'t shock me if lots of buildings lean more that than MT and
nobody notices. It just gets more hysteria.

But... The other critical data, probably already mentioned, is how QUICKLY
it\'s moving.

The tilt is now a terrifying 0.18 degrees. Don\'t park nearby.

You can\'t go by that. There are huge stress multipliers when massive structures go off center.

That piece of junk will fall over before the stresses become too large.
The built no doubt matches the \"quality\" of the design.

The sad part is it\'s not even a really tall building. Losers in CA can\'t
even construct a simple building without messing up.



Handel Architects is a New York firm. The developer was Millennium
Partners, a New York firm.

I wish you incompetent yokels would leave us alone and not jam our
restaurants and beaches and ski towns.

NYC design? Even worse. It took a Chicago firm to design the new trade
center building for NYC. They just don\'t know how to do stack steel and
concrete in a way that it doesn\'t topple over. Sounds like the clowns in
SF couldn\'t even try. The tallest self supporting structures designed in
NYC in the past 40 years are piles of trash bags.

50 stories and 600 feet was impressive, maybe 60 years ago. They could
have photocopied the plans of dozens of building that can suport their
own weight as a starting point, but no, had to fuck that up, starting
at the foundation.



They built it cheap. Concrete instead of steel, friction piles pounded
into mushy bay fill. It can probably be fixed.

An earthquake would be interesting. That fill goo tends to liquify.

Hopefully it falls over soon, I want to see that.

I wouldn\'t mind. It\'s just another boring glass box. But the tilt is
invisible, fraction of a degree, hardly the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
which is still standing. Similar problem.

It wouldn\'t shock me if lots of buildings lean more that than MT and

NYC design + CA construction = recipe for total failure.

I suspect the construction was in compliance to the drawings. Nobody
has claimed otherwise.

There\'s nothing wrong with \"CA\" construction. My house (sitting on
bedrock!) is fine.
Actually, downtown San Francisco is beautiful if you don\'t get too
close. 2 miles is about right.

Hey, we just discovered this, under the Highland Avenue bridge over
the Bernal Cut.

I yam what I yam - Popeye

That pretty much depends upon what you call beautiful. Steel, glass and concrete doesn\'t fall into that category, but if that is all you know, then it must be.

The reflections of a red sunset off the glass buildings, or the glare
illuminating the fog, are nice from a distance. The gory details don\'t
show from 2 miles away.

I walk over the freeway twice a day and see that a lot. I like it.
There could be worse views.

The famous New York skyline is ugly by comparison.

At 2 mm per year rise, sea level will submerge it before it topples
over. Both hazards are hysteria.

tower of Pisa leans almost 4 degrees, and afaiu the only reason
it is still standing after ~850 years in an earthquake zone is the
mushy ground it is build on

John Larkin is unwilling to think about the real hazard posed by sea level rise. His 2mm per year is essentially the thermal expansion of the warming oceans.

The actual problem is 6 metres of sea level rise tied up in the Greenland ice sheet, and another four tied up in the West Antarctic ice sheet. If they were kind enough to melt in place the consequent sea level rise would be gradual. Evidence from the end of the last ice age suggests that they are likely to slide off into the ocean in large chunks, and the consequent rise in sea level will be quite rapid (and not easily predictable, since it depends on processes going on underneath ice sheets that are a couple of miles thick.)

Nobody is going to step forward and say \"my bad, we\'re retarded\". Deny and
stall will be the strategy.

So building some jenga tower on pile of sloppy mud isn\'t CA construction?
Who did the work?

Beautiful, but I don\'t want them in my bed.

Luckily, I sleep about 375 feet above sea level.
