SF is sinking, and this has been known to everyone with 10 brain cells in the SF Bay Area, for as long as i’ve been alive.
part of SF was built on “reclaimed” land, and that filled in land cannot support the weight of the buildings on it anymore, so it’s sinking.

It took forever to gut and remodel the building. Some country club restaurant with a 99 year lease wouldn’t budge. Now it’s a chic place.
I guess the rest of the office buildings can drown.
