Why this matters in The Piney Point

The recent incident of a raccoon giving birth inside a San Francisco apartment wall and breaking into the bedroom may seem like an isolated event, but it has implications for Piney Point Village residents.

The presence of raccoons and other urban wildlife in the area is a reminder that residents should be mindful of potential interactions with these animals. In Piney Point Village, residents should be aware of the possibility of wildlife taking up residence in their homes, particularly in areas with surrounding trees and green spaces that can attract these animals.
