Actually, grizzlies still live in San Francico ... the zoo.

It has been talked about for year ... not the bay area per se, 
but California in general ... 
I'd love to see grizzlies back in California and the bay area ...
it would be a good way to clean up the homeless problem also
(reference the movie "Wolfen" :-).

Unfortunately it would probably be far to cruel to 
the bears ... every grizzlies need hundreds of square miles
open space that is people free to roam.

And unfortunately, what little of that is left in California
is rapidly being filled in.

So the grizzlies in the San Francisco Zoo are about as wild of grizzly 
I'll expect to see in California in my lifetime.
