...2 inches for such a tall building is such tiny angle If it sinks does this mean the first floor is slightly below the street level ..it probably means that

...2 inches for such a tall building is such tiny angle
If it sinks does this mean the first floor is slightly below the street level ..it probably means that the areas around the door and where the concete meets the street are cracked
- carleverett 10y agoI was wondering the same thing, but Google street view (taken in 2014) doesn't show any evidence of such a big dip. How is that possible?? The only thing I can think of is that it's more of a "sag," where the middle has sunk 18" but the edges haven't moved much, but I'm not really satisfied with that theory. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Millennium+Tower+San+Francisco/@37.7901875,-122.3962408,3a,90y,237.99h,64.97t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s-35rB20DzRME%2FU7BvmBlYzUI%2FAAAAAAAAKgs%2FidvFTvbnBG4BG0iCULQUc1scg2DlGAkaw!2e4!3e11!6s%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2F-35rB20DzRME%2FU7BvmBlYzUI%2FAAAAAAAAKgs%2FidvFTvbnBG4BG0iCULQUc1scg2DlGAkaw%2Fw203-h101-n-k-no%2F!7i11884!8i5942!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x9fe15ebd4a8300d8!8m2!3d37.7905058!4d-122.3961611!6m1!1e1 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Millennium+Tower+San+Franc...
- dpark 10y agoIt's extremely unlikely that the building is sinking and the surrounding area is stable. More likely the building is pulling the entire area down, so it's probably hard to detect as a pedestrian.

- tedunangst 10y agoWouldn't the width be a more appropriate measure than height?
- Ankaios 10y agotan θ = opposite / adjacent = (horizontal displacement of top) / height
- tedunangst 10y agoOh. I read it as the one corner was two inches higher. Vertical displacement / width. But that seems wrong now.
