Hot Action Notice
if you like pacific beach and would like Turquoise street to remain as is and not get a 23-story tower of luxury housing, email the mayor & city council and tell them, no!
email the mayor: Todd Gloria <mayortoddgloria@sandiego.gov>
email the president of the city council: <joelacava@sandiego.gov>
An email is a legal document, the city has to record your opinion and save the email for 5 years. signing a petition is good for uniting a community but a change.org petition is not a legal document the city has to acknowledge.
Thank you, Toots, 2026
