The Families | History, Rivals, Ranking, Goals, Recruitment etc.

[Rids Macher]

The Families are possibly based upon the Crips gang in South Los Angeles, as they control the west side of South LS, just like Crips in real life. They also wear clothing with C's on them, and wear green because of Rockstar switching secondary colors of Crips and Bloods. The name of the gang however, appears to be a loose reference to the Bloods ("family" and "blood").

The Families control the entire neighborhoods of Chamberlain Hills and Strawberry, and also the northwest side of Davis. However, Forum Drive and the Crystal Heights projects are particular hotspots for activity. Families have slightly more territory than Ballas. Members are often seen drinking, driving vehicles, walking dogs, engaging in illegal races, standing on the sidewalks and also battling the police or other gangs if they happen to shoot a gun in their turf. They usually stand in groups of 2-10. Their weapons of choice include Micro SMGs, SMGs and Pump Action Shotguns and Assault Rifles (rarely), Pistols, and knives. They are often seen drinking Pißwasser lager and smoking cigarettes or marijuana, while chatting about their gang lives and such.

History

The Grove Street Families were formed in Ganton (initially in Grove Street) before spreading to the rest of Ganton and other neighborhoods. History before this time period (late 80s) is unknown, and much of what happened to The Families during the late 80s is also unknown. However, what is known is that The Families are one of the oldest gangs in Los Santos - this possibly means that they are older than The Ballas (who formed during the 1970s) - giving the possibility that The Families evolved from the 1960s, or possibly even earlier.

The Families also have a history of a traditional, intense, and bloody rivalry with The Ballas. Specifically when the gang war started is unknown, but the rivalry between the two gangs was in full swing as early as 1987. The start and reason of their rivalry with the Los Santos Mexican gangs is unknown, though their rivalry with The Vagos has most likely developed due to their expansion and growth around their territory along with their heavy crack-cocaine influence. Despite being divided into different sets, The Families were much more united before the early 1990s.
