Chuey Cazares has lived all of his 21 years in Alviso, a tiny hamlet poking into the salt ponds at the southern tip of San Francisco Bay. Alviso sits below sea level. Flooding from the creeks above and the Bay below threaten to fill it up like a bowl. There are plans to save Alviso, but adapting to climate change has some serious downsides for Chuey’s clan.
