I'm in Pittsburgh now!  But nothing to add.

"As of 2018, the sinking has increased to 18 inches with a lean of 14
inches.[34]"

They could turn a bug into a feature if they renamed it "Leaning Tower of Pisa - West"!

  Of course, they have to carefully monitor the slant to make sure that the next
earthquake insurance claim is accurate! :-)
