Well, it's obvious. They're more secretive and low key. Plus, they have entire cities to themselves....
I'm kinda surprised that Buffalo doesn't get this treatment. They're in the same boat as Detroit as a moderately sized family kinda just fading away. At least for Detroit there was that bust in 96. Buffalo lost their union in the 90s and seemingly faded away.
Interestingly enough, when I went to go double check on Buffalo and their union, I saw that there are mob associates currently running it.

Now, I don't think that means the mob in Buffalo is thriving or even really that active at all at the moment. If it was, I feel like the feds would jump all over it just for the headlines alone.
I've never understood that aspect of the cult surrounding Detroit. About how, because of terrorism, the mob in Detroit is put on the back burner by the feds. The cases never let up in NY,
the one place in America that could get away with letting up on the mob in place of terrorism.
