Do the mob bosses choose to live in these modest homes for the sole reason of not bringing too much attention to themselves from the government?
Or do they honestly just don't make as much $$$ as people believe?
Not everyone wants to live in a mansion. These a lot of these guys you're talking about came from humble beginnings working on farms or whatever in Sicily and coming to the USA with very little. Times have changed where every house is getting bigger and bigger that's why we see more guys with them now.
