I'm from Detroit and everyone says "Detroit is Different".
Maybe that's true - but Detroit is also 85% black. And I'm white.
Something went wrong in NYC back in the day. I think the LCN was too blatant and shameless. Guys showed up on construction/union jobs with no tools or no idea how to use tools. That couldn't go on forever. Forget about it.
Organized crime is meant to be 'one step ahead' at all times. Something fucked up in the Big Apple, ages ago. Where is the best city now? Chicago? LA? Vegas (LOL!)? Miami?

To answer the question in your thread title, I'm not sure about particular locales, but as far as industries go, military contracting is ripe for corruption. Look at what those guys Diveroli and Packouz were doing (basis for film War Dogs, which is a true story). The Department of Defense was handing out contracts like candy and looking the other way from where weapons came from. Literally anyone could have slinged rifles and ammo by the boatload to the US DoD and made millions doing it. This is akin to what Vegas was in its early days. Just get a front man, and boom, you're off and running. They finally cracked down on the weapons contracting but you'd have to be a fool to believe the laxed oversight stops there. War is big money, and the fix is in.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

The mob played both sides of the fence. They had their hooks into non-union companies, too. Anyplace they could get over on someone.
