I'm assuming this guy got banned or something but I'm responding either way. The issue, if that's the right word to use, is the player count. It's too little for Los Santos. I've driven around during peak times and 98% of the city is empty except for like 3 Hotspots. Even with the focus on Los Santos, county RP happened with people going there to race etc, often times /where would show people outside of LS. Focusing on the smaller area, but leaving the outside of it open for exploration would make the server feel more lively. Sure it has downsides but the cons of it are seemingly less than the pros in my view.

Personally I like the idea of being focused in Paleto as opposed to Los Santos. With the current playerbase, Paleto is large enough to sustain it without being too large as to feel empty like it did in the city. Sure it's missing some things like Userone mentioned, but most of those things are minor and would not really affect the day-to-day roleplay of 99% of players. With a few mapping additions, the city could be made livable while maintaining it's realistic feel. Also it's not like you're getting blown up if you leave town while evading. The entire highway section is open, flee to Sandy Shores, etc. It could be a temporary move, but it shouldn't be based on a period of time but rather the playerbase. If the playerbase grows enough to sustain a larger spread of players, open up Sandy Shores and flesh it out. If it grows more, Los Santos becomes a focus again. Moving to Paleto caters to the player count.
