Parts of San Francisco are Sinking
2016-11-28
If you're an illegal immigrant, you might think about another sanctuary city, although the weather probably won't be as good.
[NBCBayArea] New satellite data released by the European Space Agency confirms that San Francisco's 58-story Millennium Tower is sinking. The swanky mirrored skyscraper at 301 Mission Street - home to multi-million dollar apartments, some of them owned by celebrities like Joe Montana and Hunter Pence - has been infamously nicknamed the "leaning tower of San Francisco," after it was revealed that the tower was tilting and sinking.
Hunter Pence? The baseball guy, born in Ft. Worth, Texas, plays right-field for the Giants. Not the NY Giants, either.
"The Sentinel-1 satellites have shown that the Millennium Tower skyscraper in the center of San Francisco is sinking by a few centimeters a year," a study by ESA says. "Studying the city is helping scientists to improve the monitoring of urban ground movements, particularly for subsidence hot spots in Europe."
Gee, ya think the satellites can pick up Angela Merkel's sinking?

#5  Parts of Boston are also sinking. Back Bay is only kept afloat by pumps.

#2  Day after day, more people come to L... A...
Don't you tell anybody, the whole place's slipping away
Where can we go, when there's no San Francisco?
Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho

Do you know the swim, you better learn quick Jim
Those who don't know the swim, better sing the hymn

Tuna at the bowl
Find fillet of much sole!
Ooooo what can you do
With a bushel of wet gold?

Day after day, more people come to L... A.
Don't you tell anybody, the whole place's shaking away
Where can we go, when there's no San Francisco?
Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho

Where can we go, when there's no San Diego
Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho
Do you know the swim, you better learn quick Jim
Those who don't know the swim, better sing the hymn
