In what sense did humans import squirrels to the bay area?

I'm actually not sure if cities in the bay area did, but lots of other cities did: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/uptown-squirrel/

Thanks for sharing this. That article is very interesting. I only thought about the fact that squirrels were a native species and didn't consider the fact that cities are not "natural".
