The spread of wildlife into the cities has nothing to do with people moving into the animal’s habitat.
The wild animals are moving into a void in the city eco-system that used to be filled by dogs.
30 years ago everyone had a dog. And everyone let their dogs run free. The dogs harrassed the wildlife and kept them at bay. No more, now we have leash laws.
You know the saying, unintended concequences.
I must respectfully disagree. We built our houses in the hills, and farther into what was once open spaces. The animals adapt. The dogs will either cower and submit to the coyote leading to interbreeding, or be eaten.
