READ THE
SIGNALS.
A loose chain of causeways, waterfront businesses and sun-baked settlements where leisure, local eccentricity and old smuggling routes overlap.
WHAT THE OFFICIAL FILES SHOW
VISIBLE EVIDENCE.
These notes describe what appears in Rockstar's location media. They do not convert scenery into promised gameplay systems.
The waterfront is working space
Bars, boat yards, docks and small businesses make the coast economic infrastructure, not just scenery.
RETURN TO SIGNAL: Boat yards and bars ↑Local life is deliberately eccentric
Official screens show roadside art, wildlife, retirees, tourists and weathered hangouts sharing the same streets.
RETURN TO SIGNAL: Island communities ↑Jason begins inside this network
Rockstar places Jason with Keys drug runners and ties his housing and shakedown work to Brian Heder.

RUMOR WIRE
THEORIES
UNDER WATCH.
STRENGTH RATES OFFICIAL SUPPORT, NOT LIKELIHOOD.COMMUNITY THEORYHOT
The Keys form the opening-game hub
Jason's job, home and closest associates are all rooted here, strongly suggesting the early criminal ladder begins away from Vice City.
COMMUNITY THEORYHOT
Smuggling will make boats practical transport
Brian's boat yard and repeated waterways support mission use. Rockstar has not confirmed ownership, docking or cargo systems.
