When I first moved to SJ I tried to take a walk along about 5 different bike trails, along different creeks. I made it a few hundred feet along each, before turning a corner into an encampment and getting nasty looks from the residence. A near jab of a needle on the ground ended my desire to try any more. Some of the encampments were really massive. I had no idea. Saratoga ended up having the only family friendly creeks that I could find. I don’t understand why anyone would downvote your comment, except for denial of the reality that has become the Bay Area.
