Overview
Banning is a compact industrial neighbourhood in southern Los Santos. It sits between the poorer inland districts of Davis and Rancho and the large port complex stretching south and west towards Elysian Island and the Port of South Los Santos. Unlike Davis or Rancho, Banning is not primarily residential or gang-territorial. Its identity comes from freight movement, storage yards, warehouses and roads built to carry industrial traffic.
The district is most important in Story Mode because of By the Book, the controversial FIB mission in which Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips meet Steve Haines and Dave Norton at a warehouse off Dutch London Street. Outside that mission, Banning is easy to overlook because it has few conventional shops, no protagonist safehouse and no substantial public attraction. It is nevertheless a useful navigation link between South Los Santos, the airport, Maze Bank Arena and the port.
Banning appears in both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. The neighbourhood itself does not become a separate, player-owned industrial hub in Story Mode, although GTA Online uses nearby docks and storage areas for freemode work and supply missions.
