To put it in perspective, Vegas tor down a 25 story building that was never opened because of bad reinforced concrete, stresses on the steel and etc. because they were afraid of earthquakes.....but this leaning tower with obvious issues inside and out, sitting in the middle of earthquake country makes sense? You couldn't pay me to live there for an extended amount of time.
They are certainly talking about it. That's the first thing everybody talked about when they first heard what was happening. But so far no engineer has said it's at risk of collapse or a hazard to people or the buildings around it.

And if you read the post directly above your own, they have a pretty sensible plan to "fix" it so I say "just do it".
