Luxury Skyscraper's Alarming Tilt and Engineering Nightmare

I read somewhere that SF in on an alluvial plain. On reason the SF eathquake was so bad is that stuff turns to soup in an earthquake. So, like TS said, they didn't go down far enough.
 
Attached thousands of hot air ballons to the roof and pipe in natural gas to keep the flames burning 24/7.

Simple, I fixed it!

Oh, heck, I forgot CA wants to do away with natural gas!
 
The tower sinking had been in the news many years ago. I haven't kept up if the remediated work stopped the sinking.
When new, the wealthy including 49ers Joe Montana bought one.
When the sinking became apparent, the condo values dropped and many lawsuits.
The city planners/building dept was criticized for approving the project but the construction was above the knowledge of the city workers.
Last I heard, engineers proposed repair work in stopping the tilting.
Since then, the Millenium tower hasn't been in the news. I still wouldn't buy a condo there.
