Question:
I’m getting ready to call you and have you come list my PB home for sale but what about my security system....it is inside and outside my home and always on. Do I need to remove it when I list for sale? I’d rather keep it up...I monitor it daily.
Answer:
Good question and something we are run into a lot lately as there are numerous, inexpensive home camera options for consumers. At my house, I have Ring, Arlo and Wyze! No need to remove them or turn them off when we start showing your home...but I will need to add a disclosure to the MLS notes that cameras are on the property and active. I also suggest we add a note to the front door so buyers/
agents are aware of this and don’t feel like their privacy is being invaded.
When I show properties to my buyers, I tell them to always assume we are being recorded...it is just the reality of today’s world and entering someone else’s home. So any conversations about a home you like and want to pursue, should be handled after the showing and away from the property.

970 TURQUOISE
AKA THE TOWER ON TURQUOISE
UPDATE:
San Diego Union Tribune Article from 1/27/25
State senator’s new bill would amend law with aim to prevent projects like proposed Pacific Beach high-rise
Catherine Blakespear says ‘SB 92 will ensure the density bonus law is being used how it was originally intended — to encourage developers to add significant affordable housing to their mixed-use projects’
Stepping up the fight against projects like the controversial 22-story residential-commercial building proposed for Turquoise Street in Pacific Beach just south of La Jolla, state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) introduced a bill Jan. 22 intended to amend the state’s density bonus law, which is being used to enable that project to reach 239 feet tall.
The legislation, Senate Bill 92, would prohibit developers from benefiting from the density bonus law when building projects that “don’t include significant amounts of housing,” according to a statement issued by Blakespear’s office.
“The legislation requires developers to devote two-thirds of the floor space of their projects to residential housing in order to qualify for exemptions … from local restrictions,” the statement said.
The proposal by developer Kalonymus LLC would build 213 units over first-floor retail space at 970 Turquoise St. The building’s height — which far exceeds San Diego’s 30-foot height limit for new buildings in coastal areas that city voters approved in 1972 — has resulted in it being labeled the “Turquoise Tower” by many area residents.
The project has been met with strong criticism at community gatherings and on social media and has galvanized many residents along the coast to oppose it, saying it would ruin the community character, create more traffic congestion and serve as a precedent for more high-rises that eclipse the coastal height limit, all without adequately addressing affordable housing.
Kalonymus says it believes the project would meet a need for housing in San Diego and says 10 of the units are designated for very-low- to middle-income households.
California’s density bonus law — passed in 1979 and repeatedly amended over the years, most recently in 2024 — provides incentives and waivers for developers to build residential units considered affordable for lower-income households. It also allows developers to include commercial uses in their projects to supplement their residential components, according to Blakespear’s office.
The state Department of Housing and Community Development has said the state law can supersede local restrictions, including voter-approved initiatives such as the 30-foot coastal height limit.
However, in the Turquoise case, HCD sent a “technical assistance” letter in December stating the city of San Diego could deny the project “by making a written finding, based on substantial evidence, that the [density bonus] incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing.”
In other words, the city must prove that some or all of the developer’s requested bonuses, waivers and incentives are not necessary to create the project’s 10 affordable housing units.
