In 1968, hippie students occupied an area to the west of Sunrise, and founded a commune. Conflicts between Mexican and Chinese communities are common in the area, which also has long been associated with the peace movement. It has long been rumoured that the Chinese control much of the organised crime on the west coast from a laundry in San Andreas's Chinatown, but no one has ever been able to substantiate these claims, although some have disappeared while trying.
As well as Korean and Japanese populations, the city boasts the ninth largest Chinese population in a major city with a two word name anywhere in the world. Today, this is reflected in it's thriving oriental communities. San Andreas, which expanded rapidly following the famous 'Fool's Gold Rush' of 1869, has long had ties with the orient. Old world Latin charm and new order Pacific rim technology live happily side by side in San Andreas, the city of the future. Map of the city San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto
