The Decavs aren't going anywhere within the next 30 years. The guys in the NY Families look down upon the Decavs (hear it from guys I know first hand) but the Decavs have two things going for them- they have plenty of young guys coming up (look at the ages of the guys in the most recent bust in the Toms River area last year) and New Jersey has TONS of Italians that want to be gangsters . New Jersey also still gets a lot of the Italian immigrants from Southern Italy when they decide to come to the USA, a majority decide to settle in New Jersey (granted Italian immigration numbers to the US as a whole are way down)
