Living with

Everyday experiences.
Shared knowledge. Practical possibilities.
San Leandro • Listening session · August 19, 2026
FROM LISTENING TO UNDERSTANDING
Residents are already adapting.
Public responses can make that effort easier.
On August 19, Cantonese-speaking community members gathered in San Leandro to talk about very hot weather. They brought experiences from home, work, travel, and the places where they spend time. Some experiences also came from elsewhere in the Bay Area or beyond.
