Max Darrow reports on a proposed solution to speed up the fix for Millennium Tower's sinking and tilting woes that is leaving some experts skeptical. (12/29/2021)

The experts with the 18 pile design should be required to move their homes and offices into the top floors of the building.

Imagine spending millions and this happens to your condo. YIKES

Drive piles on the opposite side to counteract the tilt and restore the level of the building. Consign the basement of the building to the foundation and redesign the 2nd floor to be the new first floor. Repeat the process every 10 years or so as the building continues to sink, until it reaches static equilibrium.

Well I think Mr. Hamburger needs to ketchup on how to fix the tower because he’s sure hasn’t mustard up a good plan. Lettuce hope he can figure out a way out of this pickle without being cheesy anymore. He needs to get off his buns now. Says who? Sesame.

City leaders need to be held criminally liable for any damages to life and property if the tower falls!!!!

[estrnr]

I bet KPIX has a write up ready saying. Breaking Millennium tower falls hundreds missing!

[DwnRace]

Can you imagine the kick backs this developer paid Newsom, Supervisors, and planning board to build this building this way….

[exfolios]

I got it! Helium balloons on the top will keep it from leaning further. Remember, that is my idea. I need to get credit should they use it. Oh, wait, if the wind blows balloons eastward, then it will lean further. Forget it.

Just rename it: "Point Of No Return Tower!"

[teddymoon]

this is gonna end just like the wall of rock in brazil falling on the just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.

[RobustArid]

Expect expert engineers to solve this. This is not complicated, no-one wants to take responsible for it to crash.

[tommymiddlefinger]

Remove a street and build another tower beside it leaning in the opposite direction to counter the tilt. Call it the Millennium Falcon Towers.

[Managua-fn]

They should make the tower shorter, eliminating some of the top floor .

[rbass]

faster so the workers can get out of the way before the building falls

[nodescriptionavailable]

Everyone who leaves needles and shit everywhere should get free rent there

[petersack]

People, will be ' hamburger ' (by the thousands, perhaps) WHEN THIS TOPPLES OVER ( all 686, 000, 000 pounds of cement)

[billynye]

The homeless don't care, city inspector should be in jail!

[kevo]

i wouldn’t want to be hamburger, dude’s name is written all over this. he will be a scapegoat once something bad happens. There isn’t much upside for him either

[leunam]

A cable attach to the top of the building and pulling from the side opposite the lean should fix the problem. It works for utility poles.

[scee]

Doubtful? Hmmm, I wonder why? Could it be because other proposed ‘fixes’ have made the problem worse?
