What a joke, they're seriously considering demolishing it.

Put the office photocopies on the south side to counterbalance the 3" lean to the north...
Or is there too much metal in the building and it being pulled to magnetic north?

It's so ugly, may as well tear it down. Modern architecture is all about ugly.
Same thing happens in San Francisco: ugly buildings, built on mushy fill, with cheap foundations, make lawyers rich.

Put a bunch of Trump supporters, AND Trump himself on the side it is falling toward, and tell them to blow against it.
No telling how many birds this abomination will kill with all that glass! In light of the recent UN report on killing every breathing life form on this planet, we may be able to sue for demolition. Look at this marketing brochure:

-a bunch of hedonistic glitz- sickening.
-especially the "view" button about midway down.
It's certainly feasible. Just call up those super-speedy guys who managed to pull-off the 3 controlled demolitions all in less than one day on 9/11.

Yeah, the old documentation on the local library said that the foundation was designed for an extra story or two to be added on. After some hemming and hawing, we decided to demolish/build a new foundation, because the old documentation didn't impress the insurers.
The amount of lean, though, seems modest; there's ways to stabilize it, I hope, if the monetary responsibility can be resolved. Complex of multiple builders/planners, with each pointing the finger at the other is ALWAYS amusing. But, only at a distance.
