It’s funny seeing images of Apple Park and Google when talking about San Francisco. It’s like seeing photos of Oxford while talking about London. Doesn’t feel right.
Not the same earthquake risk. Japan is more seismically active and sits on a subduction zone. California doesn’t have subduction zones. Our maximum magnitude quake is lower by a least a full point of magnitude.
@@Memovox I didn't see any garbage stacked up in downtown, or in the near homes. You have to go there before assuming things lol. Also, don't leave anything valuable sticking out in the car, so that the chances of someone breaking your window is less.
I worked in the original Apple Campus (Infinite Loop, not the UFO) and those buildings were built on large rockers so they swayed a lot during quakes - but......didn't fall over. It's like driving over a speed bump.
I guess this video was basically filler between B1M"s real videos? There's no massive project. There's nothing particularly special earthquake-wise about San Francisco - All the counties along earthquake faults in California have higher building standards for things like tying new houses to their foundations, but that doesn't include older houses. And almost all the houses are older houses, because California has built almost no new houses in proportion to the state's size in the last half century. So there's nothing really to talk about, the state can't make everyone come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars to rebuild their houses. So, what's with this video? It makes no sense.
My dad is a structural engineer in the Bay Area he is actually currrently working on the airport project but mostly does soft story retrofitting it’s really interesting stuff and some extremely complex math to account for all the potential forces of a earthquake this is also a hugge reason why housing in California is significantly more expensive because every building has to be built to a significantly higher standard in order to withstand the forces of earthquakes
Thank you B1M. I always appreciate the quality of your uploads. I live about 250 miles from SF, in CA, and once lived in the Bay Area as a young man....1996. I got married, moved to Berkeley and worked in the city, briefly, at a company that tooled figurines for the Disney Company. I commuted to work via BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) under the bay into the city, and then a bus up the hill to work. As someone who's life never really went anywhere, I realize how special of a memory this is and how lucky I was to live it. And I do. Thanks Team.
To be accurate, San Andreas is not capable of a megaquake as it is not a subduction zone. The maximum credible quake on the southern half is 8.1, which qualifies as a great earthquake (7.9 to 8.9) … which is not to say that it won’t be bad, of course. Great video, as always!
@@MagicalBread yep. the average temperature in SF is like 60 - 65F year round. there have been fires nearby that have affected SF but i don't think people realize how small SF is. less 1 million people live in it.
The recent leadership hasn't been too good. Let's see if Trump does something about it. Hopefully, he invests in infrastructure more than his first time around
Eh? Despite Republicans’ best efforts to derail it Biden signed the (heavily watered down) Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law in 2021. Trump just froze all funding for it. Trump isn’t going to do anything to help the US fix its failing infrastructure.
I agree. I grew up in the U.S. but lived in SE Asia for two years. Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, all cities I spent a lot of time in that felt a decade or more into the future than my hometown of Seattle.
Has anyone heard of Treasure Island SF?? As someone who lives in the bay I think an analysis on the TIYB Redevelopment Project would be quite interesting. SF is turning an old naval island into 8,000 new homes and they already have one of the towers finished! I think that might be an interesting premise for your next San Francisco video
My grandfather was just 5 years old at the time of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco and my grandmother was the first child recorded as being born after it struck. I have a photo of my great-grandparents surrounded by their children in front of the tent that they lived in in Golden Gate Park afterwards. Thankfully non of my relatives were killed by the quake.
I recently experienced my first, and then 2nd and 3rd, earthquake recently during a trip to El Salvador. Very crazy feeling. This is all supper interesting :)
From SF, I lived in a 1960s constructed building and any major storm or small earthquake you'd feel the whole building shift. Now living in a 4 floor building and much less terrified lol
Being better prepared is still not prepared enough considering the lack of incentives to retrofit older wooden buildings. The programs barely cover the costs of retrofitting if they were somehow eligible for it. Even if they were eligible for it, most of if not all of the costs would be added into the rent. Depending on the costs of retrofitting and the size of the unit, it could easily be hundreds of dollars more per month. Most landlords don’t have the foresight to invest tens of thousands of their own money anyway, so unless they mandate it, most homes will be unprepared for the next big earthquake.
You always talk about engineering in the USA or in Europe but when talking about earthquakes, maybe you need to go to Japan, Mexico or Chile where everything they build is earthquake proof. I would love to see a segment on earthquake from Japanese engineering or Mexican engineering
People in the comments pointing out Apple and Google aren’t in SF. They’re correct but it’s kind of like splitting hairs, they’re in the suburbs. People will refer to the Pentagon as being in Washington DC even though it’s technically in Virginia, SF is a major city and the hub for the industry (except Amazon which was way out of place lol)
Given how expensive it is to live in cities and the unique cultural identities and experiences ppl have living there vs in suburbs and exurbs of the region, it is a very big deal to not correctly associate this stuff. Silicon Valley is different than SF, just like NOVA and MD are very different from SF, and have unique sub cultures and history. When you can’t get those associations right, why should anyone take what you have to say seriously or with any authority?
Bad example. The Pentagon is across the river, roughly 5 miles, from downtown Washington D.C. The distance from Mountain View (Google) to San Francisco is 38 miles, which is about the same distance as Washington D.C. to Baltimore. Saying “well Google and Apple are near San Francisco so the point stands” is like putting Allen Edgar Poe’s home on a “things to do in Washington D.C.” list or including the Lincoln Memorial and National Mall as “must see sites in Baltimore”
Amazing video!❤ I think California could do a lot of things to improve like mexico city does! Also B1M I'd like to recommend one building, "Torre Rise" the highest building currently being built in Latinoamerica with a height of 475M will be the second tallest building in the Americas
I've been a big fan of your channel for a while now Fred, always such detailed and easy to understand information 😊👍 The earthquake simulator was particularly interesting and it got me thinking... Using wood for large structures really doesn't sit well with me, it seems like a waste of something very precious that we need to reduce our consumption of. Could recycled plastic be used instead? Or some sort of bamboo or hemp composite? Bamboo and hemp can be produced in huge quantities and are much more sustainable. Are you aware of anything like this at all?
I was reminded of San Francisco's Millennium Tower, the 58-story condominium high-rise that's leaning 29 inches on the northwest corner of the building. Now, in addition to the lean, it's actually sinking as well. Built in the SoMa neighbourhood, it's the only part of the city that's flat, but as you describe, it's not even bedrock.
In the last videos the audio quality between the voiceover for the "normal" video (stock footage, animations etc) and the parts where you are sitting in front of the camera vary greatly. The voiceover audio has a much rounder sound compared to the other one. did you change a microphone setup?
I was here during the 89 earthquake. I believe it was a 7.0 or 7.1 which is a big difference given that it’s a logarithmic scale. Terrifying day. Amazing only around 60 people lost their lives.
The preparations do not seem particularly comprehensive in scope, nor is it clear how far the retrofitting process has gone except in relation to LA airport.
A lot of the newer construction on landfill is fairly safe AFAIK, such as UCSF's new hospital. Wouldn't want to be on the street outside said hospital during the big one though.
SF is a beautiful city. Yes it has some homelessness but it is overall an amazing place. Glad that the locals leaders are taking steps to protect its future. 💙
I’m not contesting your words, but what is your source for the 20 Millions visitors claim? Most websites don’t even have SF in their top ten. With 20 millions it would be the 2nd most visited town in the world. Unless you consider commuters too
San Francisco "residents can take confidence in the fact that if (an earthquake) does happen" the city is better prepared than before. Uh, huh. Confidence is earned, and considering what just occurred in LA I am thinking there not much in that savings account.
It’s misleading to say that “America” is redesigning this city. Like most things in our federal system, 95% of the work is done at a state and local level (despite the federal level getting all the headlines).
Clearly a lot of thought and research has gone into earthquake survivability and rightly so. Of course, if the earth (ground) moves then the chances are the building will fail .. and collapse in part at least
You’re right, not one of the engineers or regulators thought about fire risk.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ mass timber has been thoroughly fire tested. Obviously there is a fire risk, but that risk is well understood.
San Francisco city does not have any real wildfire risk. Areas that do have a risk of wildfires tend to be more rural or suburban areas, which is mostly made of single family homes. The reality is, unless you built massive soviet style concrete apartment blocks, you are building those with wood. The real is to minimize the risk of fires starting or spreading through the surrounding environment.
The San Andreas Fault produces a big quake every 150-200 years. The northern half last went off in 1906. It’s been under 120 years since then, so San Francisco is fine for at least another generation. The southern half last went off in 1857, or 168 years ago. LA could get the big one today, or not for another 30 years or longer. LA is the city to watch, not San Francisco. At least, for now.
To the people of California *does your state has any alarm system? Like megaphones or maybe a sms to alert about earthquakes? *Does school and jobs have an specific day to practice evacuations? Any protocols?
There is a earthquake early warning system which was recently implemented. It places sensors allow known faults throughout the state. If will send an emergency notification via phone ahead of time depending on your distance to the fault.
