[Leans left, bends over...] The tilt of San Francisco's Millennium Tower has deepened as engineers work to reverse lean

It’s the leaning tower of San Francisco.

The Bay Area’s Millennium Tower has only continued to tilt further and 
sink deeper west in spite of architects’ best efforts to steady the ritzy 
building.

The multimillion-dollar-per-unit tower is now leaning more than 29 inches 
at the corner of Fremont and Mission streets — a slant over half an inch 
deeper than previously revealed, according to monitoring data reviewed by 
NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit.

The half-inch tilt was reportedly gained while engineers dug beneath the 
sinking condominium earlier this year to support the weight of the tower — 
which was built atop a former landfill — along its two sides.

Fix engineers saw progress in stabilizing the Millenium Tower’s north side 
along Mission Street after implementing six concrete-filled steel piles 
along its base in January, but it may have come at a cost to the tower’s 
west side, the data shows.

Rooftop-based monitoring data — which is based on rooftop measurements and 
foundation-based determinations — indicates the tower shifted nearly an 
inch to the west compared to its tilt before it was supported on the north 
side.

Engineers in charge claim the data may not be reliable, despite pointing 
it to as proof of success earlier in the first phase of the project.

Project engineer Ron Hamburger told NBC in a statement that the rooftop 
figures are prone to weather fluctuations and said purely foundation-based 
data is more reliable.

The foundation-based digits also show that the tower is tilting more 
toward the west than ever, but only by about a quarter of an inch — a lean 
Hamburger claimed was “negligible.”

“We are fully confident that following transfer of the remaining design 
load to the piles,’’ Hamburger said, adding that “there will be no further 
… movement of the roof to the west.”

Hamburger and his team next plan to secure the foundation to the dozen 
piles sunk along Fremont Street that will bear the partial weight of the 
building load.

Each pile is 24 inches in diameter and has been driven 270 feet to bedrock 
and is designed to support 1 million pounds of weight, according to the 
San Francisco Chronicle.

Engineers hope to reverse the tilt — which was revealed to residents in 
2016 — by the end of the month.

The incentives to be responsible for empirical reality in the all-male 
world of yesterday have been replaced by the incentives to fulfill the 
social imperatives of the female leftist fantasy of equality.  The end 
result is San Francisco's city management and building inspection 
department has been rotted by  exponentially expanding credentialism: The 
bestowing of title, position, and rank upon those unvetted for competence.
