Yep...TAXPAYERS! Who else?

Trump may say “no” to that, though.

The 58-story tower’s shine faded on May 10, 2016, when Agabian attended a homeowners association meeting and was informed that the building had sunk 16 inches into the earth and tilted over 15 inches at its tip and 2 inches at the base, according to suits filed by residents and the city of San Francisco. “You can imagine how distressed we were to know that, for one, our lifetime investment and savings are at risk,” she said. “And we have no idea whether or not there’s a fix to it, and if there is a fix to it, what it will entail.”

Require the homeless to purchase medallions like cabbies. That’ll pay for it in no time flat.

Let the geniuses in Silicon Valley fix it. They always tell us how smart they are.

In typical liberal manner, they are blaming everyone. I do feel sorry for people who bought there, but I think they are stuck no matter what happens. No one will buy there even if they fix the problem

It’s possible, in other words, that homeowners already under water on their damaged real estate investments may have to cover millions in costs to repair the building. And that’s not even the nightmare-case scenario. If the sinking remains unaddressed, the $750 million building could potentially collapse, with little clarity as to who would pay for the damage.

Note your tag.
I had Christmas cards made from a photo of me in the bush, the Company clerk typed “Have Gun-Will Travel-APO San Francisco” on each one.
Returning to the ‘world’, all my kin commented on the card!
They still have them in old photo albums.

The architect and builder must not have gone to Sunday School where children sing the song, “The foolish man built his house upon the sand, and his house came tumbling down,” based on the parable of Jesus.

(Interesting that a retired department head at the University of CA can afford luxurious digs like that.)

That plan may be worth a try?
But you may want do a quick vector analysis on the lines?
