The Neglected District of Davis, Los Santos 

Me watching paleto bay, sandy shores, grapeseed, davis lore at 4 am.

The fact that a GTA game set in LS made the hoods the smallest part of the map makes no sense. The mountains were a waste of space on the map and the actual interesting play space got neglected.

Is Davis Like The Compton Of Los Santos?

Davis always gave me this weird feeling that it was once an area where it was lively during the 80s and 90s while still having gangs occupy the area, however as time went on the higher ups moved on to richer neighborhoods and leaving Davis to the next generation of said gang, and because of the constant gang wars the businesses while still being open is suffering as a result, sure it has a local police impound/department but it's not enough to renovate, it felt like a shell of it's former self.

I grew up in the areas that Davis is based on and the infrastructure is pretty dead on. While most of LA is on a grid, a lot of the streets definitely have some nonsense patterns. So even if Davis was a rush job, they still did amazing work on it.

Song makes me feel like I’m walking through my hometown after the apocalypse 💀

This rendition of Los Santos is pretty interesting... it initially gives off the vibes of a modern cosmopolitan city from the outside, but anyone can look closer and see that it's infrastructure is unsustainable and just falling apart. Can't wait to see more of these documentaries!

There's 1000s of GTA V videos on RU-vid, but this dude has managed to make something unique, and carve out a new niche for himself on RU-vid.

Davis is South LA and Compton combined. - Del Perro is Santa Monica. - Vespucci is Venice Beach - Vinewood is Hollywood - Little Seoul is Koreatown - Rockford Hills is Beverly Hills - Morningwood is Brentwood - Richman is probably Bel Air?

You forgot one minute detail, as part of the Contract, Davis was used in its entirety for a specific segment of Dre's Missions

Do Mission Row next (it’s the hobo area with the police department)

For the street errors i think its based on many gateway cities old road infrastructure being replaced since there was a decent transportation system back in the 40s in LA but the car manufacturers came and changed all that hence why many street's in davis make no sense

Long story short. GREAT FUCKING SERIES MAN! 10/10

Loved this lore series.. Please dont stop doing this... We need many more of it...

I had just finished packing for a trip and I was about to play some GTA Online but checked RU-vid real quick and saw you uploaded a new video…so I had to watch this video first! I love your videos man. I’ve been a subscriber of yours for some time now and this has been one hell of a series. I always love watching your videos and look forward to many more good sir!

Found your channel yesterday, can't wait to watch this video

I’m enjoying this kind of content series. It brings this “unfathomable” feeling to GTA 5 like there’s more than meets the eye. Great video had to sub👍

these videos are my favorite . especially the sandy shores and grapeseed one because i've been writing a small story based in the gta universe in my free time and those videos really helped in establishing some world building lore

I think the reason for the weird streets is due to the fact that Davis was pretty rushed, in the first trailer, the alley you see the guy getting chased by the police in; is where most of Davis was worked on the most, and a rough draft at that point. If I remember correctly, there were some dev screenshots that showed other parts of Davis and how much was unfinished and empty. Mostly being dated around late 2011 - mid 2012.

I love the lore that your channel and The Virtual Carchive have created. After all these years it's nice to see you breathe just a little more life into the game.

We got Davis lore before gta 6

These videos are definitely my favorite! Well done.

I feel like GTA 6 isn’t gonna live up to the hype. I mean to try and follow up a game like GTA 5 is already insane, but I feel like it’s gonna lack the "soul" that GTA 5 has…if that makes any sense. Ofc I want it to be amazing and succeed, but I just feel like it’s gonna come up short of our expectations. I, like MANY other ppl have been waiting for GTA 6 for over a decade, and now that the release is ACTUALLY closing in…I’m SUPER nervous.

Really enjoyed. Just discovered your channel today. Subbed.

This channel is honestly, truly amazing, such unique content, please keep covering more story about the map!!

Your videos are nice bro just found these recently

Bro disagreed with the poll for the thumbnail 💀

I like a lot these videos, maybe you could do some with locations from other gta games, just an idea keep up the good work :)

As a person who spends most of his time just exploring the maps, these are my very favorite videos. I look forward to more. Liked and subbed.

No one else has this style to do a cool report about Los Santos. I like this so much and could watch it for hours. It would be great if you did other reports on other good topics on the island. In any case, you have found a larger community that likes it. Love your work!!! : )

I love the video game essay content, keep it up!

I absolutely love these kind of videos. Keep 'em coming!

Love these types of lore videos. Keep up the good work!

This was very calming and informative I love the music and the way you speak very relaxing definitely going to subscribe now

I just found ur channel and i love it i like the gta v documentaries like this it has a special vibes related to it❤

Thank you for these videos, very good quality, giving different places its own "lore" makes the game feel a bit more real ❤

Man this game give me chills on how realistic on how it portrays that 1990-2013 Los Angeles vibes

lol this was so good I forgot I was watching something about the gta5 map. Respect man.

I think they put less emphasis on Davis in GTA V after putting so much more into similar areas in San Andreas. They wanted to play up to the richer areas in V.

For a video idea you could do a video about the cult community up in the mountains near Pleto bay if you havent already but I really like these videos about the lore of gta 5s community keep it up 😊👍

Love your documentaries, here’s hoping you make ones about night city once you’re done with gta

Me watching lore of gta 5 locations while geeked at 2 am

How to solve the gangs of LS: GTA Online player with everything and an entire crew backing them. So basically what could have happened in the Contract DLC when you're going after the Vagos. There should be a gang war update where in private sessions you can literally wipe out the gangs and take LS for yourself or join one and take over LS with them. Would make a great final dlc for V's Online with the finale being a last stand against the cops and military using everything in the player's arsenal now that the gangs are cleaned up and Public Enemy 1 is unable to hide their movements by covering their tracks with gang violence.

Davis has more hope of saving than Sandy Shore.

A Falls video a day keeps the pain away good work

Keep it up and please document other areas of Los santos

I’ve really been enjoying these videos covering the map though, would you do one for Mirror Park? It has a lot of properties for sale. Also, there originally was supposed to be a third cul de sac, but it was cut from the final game. You can see where it was on the map in the metro stations which is the debug/beta map for the game.

I think ur vids are class mate! Biggup man like falls 💯

Documentaries for gta 5 is amazing.İ learning almost everything about the places i see everyday.And its making them someplace i lived before.

Love this documentary series! Please do more

Your voice is so nice I’ve been watching ur videos while I write 😭

This is how Eastside L.A. is irl, so Rockstar did a good job. As someone who grew up all over SoCal and has stayed not too far from the Watts towers, it's crazy how neglected it feels compared to other places in Los Angeles, but it makes sense considering they don't got they own Mayor or jurisdiction. Good video tho.

this series is amazing, please do Vespucci beach next

I love your documentaries on areas in GTA 5

I love these videos Just like someone said in the comments, it's really like a documentary!!

Always thought it was stupid they wouldn't let you live in the Davis area online.. or like you said have a trap house you can run a business from.. hopefully with the DLC that involved the Vincent off the books missions it will involve Davis Street

Amazing diction which makes this very enjoyable to listen to

Calling it three fourths instead of three quarters made my head explode 🤣

davis is gettig GENTRIFIED in gta6

I love this kind of content

I am loving these videos

Nice video falls!

I'm glad Rockstar gave us options where to put our Bounty Hunter business🤗 I put mines in the hood right around the corner from my arcade so it gives me a reason to go back to Davis Street since they won't let me own a house in that part of town

Davis lore at 1:30am. Doesn’t get better than that

yo bro these videos are amazing.

Good video 💯

04:36. I like to sometimes just drive with the actual traffic and this exact spot confused me SO much, cause I'm not so used to US-standard when it comes to signs and all in traffic. Started gaslighting myself, thinking maybe I was wrong for driving that exact way lmao

This is unrelated to the video but you should make a video on how much larger the map feels while playing story mode conpared to online and why it feels that way

I’m glad you are doing better than Guinness Walker since they only made a III Liberty City and half of VC when describing the neighborhoods

i love this series! 😍

good vid and I might sup

Q: Why is Davis like this? A: Fentanull joints (and yes, gaangz!).

Next up you should definitely do either Rockford Hills if it has any evidence or maybe even the Vespucci area which is one of my favorite areas because who doesn’t love Venice Beach

I know your content is mostly around gta5 but it would be amazing to see you do these types of videos for gta 4!

Can you do La Mesa? It's seemingly crawling out of poverty

i grew up terrified of driving bc of the street designs in davis lmao

There's something about the music and your voice that makes me want to watch more

I absolutely love this new "series" om your channel. I havent seen anyone break gta cities down like this before, its insanely interesting, and i will countinue to watch fully like and comment as this content is what deserves to be in the algorithm. Keep iup thr good work man, hopefully you'll end up doing all gta5 locations that are interesting, then gta6 when it comes out. Perfect voice, tone, speed, etc.

Mirror Park used to be a rough neighborhood too but it got gentrified like 10 years ago.

your one of the best youtubers you should be way more famous than this

Davis Mega Mall is the famous Slausen Swap meet, now called the Slausen Super Mall.

I hope Roman comes back in GTA6. I can totally see him going on vacation out there

Ironically enough, I chose no gang colors 😅

Womp womp

should give us an update where we do online missions in davis, have business' there, payouts could be really cheap but fun to play too

The player characters might also be the final nail in the coffin for violence in davis lol. Seeing as people are always in that area for one reason or another, not to mention the syg location that can take place there right outside apartments.

I only know about a decent about this district from managing a fivem server where i installed various MLO's (map addons/buildings) to this district. Courthouse, pd, etc..

I could be wrong but I think the Bounty Hunter Missions are going to take place in grape seed up near Sandy Shores hopefully the off the books missions for Vincent will take place around David's and other areas of Los Santos

God I love this series!!

Think you can do Harmony next?

I feel like the next place you'll review is where lester lives

This guy cares more about Los Santos than politicians care about their country

4:46 - that litter bin on grass :D I've never notice that!

Please what's the name of this song you use in all these videos?

Paleto Forest? It’s a pretty unique area but not a whole lot to do out there

I believe the reason why Davis wasn’t used much in the story is because that’s where it started for franklin and it was all about him making it further in life so as the story went on there was less and less involvement eith davis

Davis reminds me of Bohan lol 🗽

We’ve all been robbed at night at the LTD on Grove

I honestly feel like you should do parts of GTA 4

bro wants to pay rent
