Vice City had some brilliant sniper spots, for example the veranda of this Casa Bonita (or something) house you owned...

But none of this in SA, or at least, I haven't found it :(

Requirements for a Good Spot: (according to me)
- a Target Rich Environment
- Safety; something to hide behind if 'they' start shooting at you
- Enough distance from things that go -BOOM- when shot (eg. cars)
- No (easy) pedestrian access
- Different shooting locations (so you can move someplace else after you shot someone)
- Enough room to launch an RPG without blowing yourself up
- A barrier to keep peds/police officers a minimum distance away from your spot, for exapmle, a low wall

Would appreciate your tips!

Those unfinished buildings in Doherty, near the garage, are pretty good. One of them has a roofed-off part. (For example in the mission with Toreno and Mendez where you protect the van from the roadblocks.) Unfortunately, it's maybe not quite open enough. It's difficult to shoot through the windows, and you can't really get a good shot at a helicopter.

But yeah, there definitely aren't as many good sniper nests, at least not easily seen ones.

:edit:

More finds, with SA Place Manager coords:

Tennis court building in LS. It's maybe a little too far from the road, though, and that fence can be annoying.

the balcony of a house in Mulholland Hills. The small section of roof is usually enough to keep the helicopter from shooting you, and there is plenty of traffic on the road below. Just don't fall off.

There's a notch in one building in south LS which is accessible by jetpack or helicopter. It's not roofed off but it's narrow enough that you can survive for a while against the helicopter. The part facing the street could be wider.

Actually, going back to VC, the parking ramp of  the Washington Mall is a very good place.

As for SA, the Hospital in LS-Jefferson. (plus you get a sniper rifle there!)
