Another crack has been found on a notorious San Francisco skyscraper that is slowly sinking into the Earth.

Inspectors have issued a violation to management of a sinking building after a large crack formed in a 36th-floor window.

The high-rise condominium building called the Millennium Tower- dubbed by locals as the Leaning Tower of San Francisco - is the tallest residential building in the city. It has sunk 16 inches into its foundations since it was completed in 2009.

Residents heard creaking sounds, then heard a popping noise around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.

Later, a homeowner found the crack in a window of his home on the 36th floor at the corner of the 58-story high-rise.

If you shit out of a Millenium Tower window, no one will even notice the extra shit on the sidewalk.

Maybe that was the source of the poop all along?

Maybe if all the people live on just the side away from the lean, it will straighten itself out.

Yes, get the fat guy to move to the high side.

Have the people from Pisa offered any advice on this?

They can make the tilted lounge a Mystery Spot tourist attraction. You know they are desperate because they injected 5000 pounds of Viagra into the foundation.

I thought it was "Just say no to crack"?

The SF Millennium Tower is the perfect symbol for the fall of San Francisco.

Someday, a homeless person will fart on it and it will all come tumbling down. Fuck the vanity project of the oligarchs, seated in the midst of squalor, anyway.

Yeah.

Salesforce is a 100% permanent work from home outfit. It was the primary tenant of the Salesforce Tower.

I bet that they could turn the building into condos and make a bunch of money off of it.

I dunno about that, Booger. People are leaving SF. To make money off it, they'll have to charge high rents. But the type of people who can pay market rents are leaving the city.

So what’s the latest with the building cracks?

These cracks from years ago are fine? Building fine?

The Tower of Pisa is still standing, isn't it?

"In November 2020, the $100 million "perimeter pile upgrade" repair project began with a planned 52 pilings to be sunk to bedrock. These pilings would be tied to the existing foundation to mitigate further sinking (of Millennium Tower). "

This is like what Ram Jack does in Florida especially central Florida with cracked, sinking, and failed concrete foundations.

Seems to be doing just fine.

Is this Covid Tower? Is there a vaccine that protects the tower residents from further cracks?

This is already on my list of reasons to never buy a house on a slab.

Some parts of Florida are at risk to sink holes because of its unique geology. At least we don't have earthquakes here or major droughts like you all in California :-/
