The Sopranos was based on a combination of The Genovese Jersey Crew and the Decavalcante so wasn’t to far off when you consider that. As far as them not being around in the future, I’d say it’s possible because they are in competition with NYs Jersey Crews and Philly and they are last in the pecking order. If you were a street guy coming up in North Jersey it would benefit you to align yourself with one of NY families or Philly based on the rackets they hold have no clue how that many guys are eating based on what they control because like it was said construction unions was what kept them making money but I don’t think they even have much control on that anymore. All that being said they have their lane and they are keeping quiet so who knows maybe they are rebuilding and will be ok but they still are a family you go to when you can’t get made anywhere else.
