Actually, the whole evacuation thing DOES seem realist. Think, Fukushima. We can always say a couple years ago (don't make it days ago, or even weeks ago, as it's sure to turn the roleplay into Falloutish / chaos roleplay, + ruin the economy which means Los Santos would be a living ruin) a power plant exploded. Certainly by Area 51, because it's basically equidistant from both SF and LV. Upon the nuclear meltdown or other huge disaster that happened there, people in these two counties were evacuated to Los Santos. Now, now, since it's a while back, we can always say the areas are free to roam again, though VERY few people will be willing to live back in these areas. Still, they do, as evidenced by some jobs that - I'm sorry - are fully IC. Take the Trucker job which takes you to factories in the vicinity of SF and LV. There ARE people living there, just very select few, and both cities have lost their economic and residential appeal. We can always say the toll roads have been instaured to warn people of the danger of living or passing by the affected areas, without the power to actually forbid them from reaching the irradiated counties.
Then again, I'd just say to either block them OOC, or make rules about using NPCs from San Fierro and Las Venturas, while leaving both cities populated or somthing. Maybe a rule about not incorporating these NPCs in one's roleplay in a powergame manner, which would rule out the "COP FRUM SFPD CUMS N KEELS U LOL" situation.
A trolling a day keeps your boredom away!
