This may be a bit silly but I was wondering about what other peoples thoughts were regarding mob family presence in individual neighborhoods. We discuss family strength by borough a lot, so why not.

For instance, if I were to guess at Bensonhurst I would say:
1. Gambino
2. Bonanno
3. Luchesse
4. Colombo
5. Genovese

What about neighborhoods like Bath Beach, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Gravesend, etc?

Probably rank staten island as the powerhouse. Its basically the white house of the mafia today...not as much brooklyn. brooklyn has become too diverse for traditional italians...and to be honest i agree too. I only know central and north brooklyn because living here/there..not a super fan..would be cool to live in a mafia neighborhood and maybe play videogames with the mob online..get their gamertags and shit

belmont dont gambino and persico clan have alot of members in dyker heights. is that a upscale place. i would think the colombo family has more members in brooklyn then any other just by looking at all the indictments.

Gambino 1 for sure
But Columbo and Bonnano probably 2

I'm not sure after that but Luchesse could easily be last or close to

No that's a great idea. I had an idea to make a big map of LCN territory, one color for each family with a key on the side. My idea was the whole country. NYC would be dashed lines of each five families colors the more interesting aspect would be blips on areas you wouldn't expect, like WV for Pittsburgh or a colored square highlighting a town a made man ran a group out of. And eventually we could fill it out with precision. The problem is the LCN world is ever changing and a map of current OC wouldn't would be less diverse and fleshed out than a traditional map from the mob's heyday so my idea kind of stopped there. But I think a neighborhood map is really viable if anyone has graphical ability. Maybe there's some interest?

Sorry for not actually contributing tongue

Is there or was there much of any mob activity in somewhere like albany? Not a huge population there but not a small town by any means. Plus all those politicians in the capital region. I've always wondered wwhy I never heard much of anything going on there, but a dump like Rochester would have a family operating

Thanks, Barret. We've got several long threads about strongest Brooklyn crews, and so forth, but classifying crew strength by borough doesn't paint a real picture, IMO.

For instance, you could walk the streets of Brownsville and Canarsie for the next ten years and never encounter a member of the Canarsie Crew. Sometimes we wax about how strong families are by borough, but don't factor in crews that have long since moved off to Lido Beach or somewhere.

Anyway, that's why I thought it would be interesting to ask. Some neighborhoods are more resilient than others. That's what I was driving at.
