New York are still involved in things Chicago isn't. Many New York families still have ties to unions, construction, garbage, cement, drywall, carpenters, the docks, etc. Last time there was a union involving Chicago I think was when Caruso and his brothers were kicked out of a laborers local.

DiFronzo has D&P but that's just one company. Take the recent garbage case we've seen in New York. It defintely will not be the last. Add on the massive books and loansharking operations NYC crews run that's a hell of a lot of money.

I think what sets New York apart is that even with today's law enforcement they are always trying to find new industries to move into, and new more sophisticated ways of making money. I defintely don't see that from Chicago. I think they are still around but are fading.
