After the economic boom of the 1940s-1960s, the city's sudden boom started slowing down. During the 1970s, housing construction mainly ended. Once completely white areas turned into infamous black ghettos such as [[Ganton]] and [[Idlewood]]. The most infamous street gangs included the [[Grove Street Families|Families]] and the [[Ballas]]. There were also the [[Los Santos Vagos|Vagos]], [[Varrios Los Aztecas|Los Aztecas]], [[San Fierro Rifa|the Rifa]], and many other street gangs. Immigration from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras was rising, and like the Okies, they came at a bad time. Crime soared throughout the 1980s, and crack cocaine hit every part of the city. Violence peaked in the early 1990s, and soon, the infamous [[Los Santos Riots|1992 Los Santos Riots]] began. This was started by police corruption, police brutality, police racism, and tensions between ethnic groups, the worst being the African American and Korean communities. Every part of the city was plunged, looted, and burned down. The cost was at one billion dollars, thousands were injured, and 50 lives were lost. | After the economic boom of the 1940s-1960s, the city's sudden boom started slowing down.

Police reform within the [[ | Police reform within the [[LSPD in GTA V|LSPD]] began. Instead of paramilitary tactics, the department used more community-oriented tactics. Satisfaction has risen in the LSPD since. Throughout the [http://www.commondreams.org/views01/0109-04.htm Clinton economic boom], the city experienced a robust economy once again, aided by new technology such as cell phones and most notably the Internet. Infamous ghettos such as [[Ganton]] and [[Jefferson, Los Santos|Jefferson]] experienced a major drop in crime, partly due to a peace treaty between the Families and the Ballas, but also the LSPD clean-up. The late 2000s economic recession, though did not hit the city as severely as previous ones, still had a major impact on Los Santos. Many homes were foreclosed, and crime steadily rose. Many people, for example, Mexican-Americans, left for their home countries. Many have not returned. After the recession, the city is trying to re cooperate in a post-recession economy. | ||
