Too much black mafia in Baltimore isn't there? Generally, LCN likes to set up shop in areas where they have numbers. I hear the black gangs in Baltimore are pretty bad, so I'm not sure how LCN could go in there and get a foothold. Unless they worked with the so-called leaders of the gangs/syndicates that are already there.

It would probably be similar to Los Angeles: There are so many ethnic gangs in LA, mostly latino and black, that LCN would not have a monopoly on anything.
