GTA V: 10 Unfortunate Consequences Of Living In Los Santos

2. Incessant Heisting Has Pretty Much Ruined The Banking System

Much like jogging or speedboat-ing, heists appear to be a popular pastime in Los Santos. Indeed, it€™s impossible to go anywhere with a couple of valuables and not find an erstwhile queue of robbers waiting in an orderly queue for the current crew to get through the ever-replenishing goodies on offer in some of the city€™s wealthier establishments. To be a banker in this place must come with PTSD as a job standard €“ I€™m pretty sure they a day without an armed assault (or as they might call it, Saturday) is pretty dull. But still, while I feel for their plight, imagine what it means for the hard-working city residents. All they want to do is deposit their money in a place that won€™t be assaulted by C4-toting amoral crackpots, but unfortunately, no such unmolested Shangri-La exists. I€™m pretty sure bank collapses must be a regular thing in LS, but again, I€™m also sure that no-one€™s exactly surprised by this lack of confidence in the system. Anyone who€™s everyone has robbed a bank there to the extent that I wouldn€™t bat an eyelid if the cashiers had some sort of script for dealing with their third break-in of the morning, complete with eye-rolls and oh-not-you-agains. Couple that with the fact you can€™t even use one of the city€™s many ATMs without some ne€™er-do-well clubbing out your intestines through your arse and you€™ve got a banking system at best horribly crippled, and at worst completely redundant. It€™s no wonder everyone€™s mortgage is in the toilet €“ those in the know are too busy with their hands in the air to worry about trifling things beyond getting their sixth lead injection that week.
