Hmmm...
While Southern.Cal didnt have the East Coast variety of ethiciticies....
It did and does have a intresting mix of Mexican, and Southeast Asian
Groups.
Could have the traditional LA LCN Family made their presence felt
With those groups with traditional LCN rackets?
Then.you.include the adult film industry and plus construction
Rackets in Southern Cal....
Didnt at one point in NYC the Gambinos were fully entrenched
In the concrete industry in NYC
Plus the LA Family could have really profited from.the stolen cars
And chop shops much how Roy DeMeo got wealthy off of back East

they did fool around with porno, and interact with Mexicans moving junk across the border. But overall, it wasn't as conducive an atmosphere for Italian OC as gritty eastern areas for many reasons. And if you are familiar with Chinese. especially many decades back, they are a very insular people and handle their own stuff. They weren't open to dealing with whites. Plus, it was a very different dynamic in Cali for all the reasons I stated. And the cali crew was small and somewhat disjointed compared to better organized and larger east coast CN borgatas
