After the surfside collapse, its gotta be 10x harder to keep any rational discussions about this building going.
I wouldn't live there, unless there was a nice fat discount.
Is tearing the thing down an option? I haven't seen it discussed anywhere.
- miked85 5y agoHow much of a discount does it take to live in a potentially unsafe building?
- NotSammyHagar 5y agoHow many people have much of their finances invested in a probably useless home there? Hard to see how this works out to anything other than a tear down.
- France_is_bacon 5y agoA nice fat discount? You could knock 50% off and the units would still be multimillion condos. Unit #502 is asking $3.8 million in 2016. It is San Francisco's most expensive one bedroom home. 27E is $2.3 million. Unit 34# is $2.59 million. The penthouse asking price was $37.5 million. So, Mr Moneybags, you can just pull out your credit card and buy the $37.5 million penthouse at a 50% discount for a total of $18 million? Must be nice to be you.
- fragmede 5y agogiven that Salesforce tower is diagonally adjacent to the millennium tower, and is located in a dense urban core, it seems impossibly expensive to take it down safely, given the risk taking it down would also pose

I witnessed the duration of this deconstruction, as well as the erection of its replacement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Meridian_Plaza#Deconstruction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Meridian_Plaza#Deconstruct... Both processes were fascinating
