Recently, CDFW safely removed a 525-pound bear from a crawl space in LA County after the homeowner was evacuated due to the Eaton Fire. The homeowner was able to return once power was restored, and the home is now bear-proof.
This figure from @maipoisson 's recent paper is important
It shows how urbanization is not one big thing
Rather, distinct urban features affect wildlife species uniquely across spatial scales

Nobody will remember:
-your salary
-how “busy you were”
-how many hours you worked
People will remember:
-you were bear aware and stored food and other attractants in bear-resistant containers at all times.
