I get frustrated with people who say "the bears have been here a
minimum of 10000 years" - it's BEAR territory not HUMAN since I live
in a subdivision literally on the edge of the forest.

Hey, at least they admit that it /was/ their territory.
 Here, we get discussions on NextDoor about whether or not coyotes are
invasive.
 

Now every home in our area was built in the 1970s which is well beyond
the lifetime of any living bear so while it may have been bear
territory once, it certainly hasn't been so during any bear's lifetime
- and my next door neighbor had an 8' section of his fence taken down
by a bear while I myself have had a yearling bear (we think) take out
two adjacent boards in our fence which we believe our dog who was in
the back yard managed to get out of our back yard onto our street -
which is a major bus route.

 Which might suggest that /some/ bears think it still /is/ theirs.

Indeed, why does it cease to be bear territory
when some humans set up camp there?
Is this political?
