What do you do when the sea comes for your home, your school, your church? To understand how millions of people are coping with rising seas, our climate reporter @SominiSengupta and our photographer @nytchangster traveled to Manila and San Francisco. nyti.ms/3btUi3k
The San Francisco Bay Area and metropolitan Manila sit on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean. One city rich, the other poor, they offer a glimpse at the tough choices coastal cities face in the age of climate disruption. nyti.ms/3btUi3k
In Manila, millions of the city’s poorest people live in hazardous, low-lying areas that are already lashed by tropical storms. But leaving those areas can mean being even farther from jobs and other resources. nyti.ms/3btUi3k 
In the San Francisco Bay Area, municipalities are paying to fortify high-value coastal infrastructure at risk. But questions of how much do you armor the coast, what do you choose to save, and who will have to move have become a political lightning rod. nyti.ms/3btUi3k
The Bay Area and Metropolitan Manila are both big and growing, with a lot of people and things to protect on the coast. How they deal with rising seas today may offer lessons, for better or worse, for coastal cities elsewhere. nyti.ms/3btUi3k
