That is a good thing for the Italian people, they’ve moved up the social ladder left the ghettos behind. That’s a bad thing for the mob, anyone who thinks this site is anything but a history lesson at best is fooling themselves. I enjoy reading the posts and esp. enjoy the history and inside info some post. But the thought that today’s mob is anything but barely holding on is a refusal to see reality. There will be the occasional big story but those are going going going gone. Btw that’s the issue for all the families, no ghettos to raise future members in. The suburbs are not the same. Nymafia you’re articles are alway well done, ty


Couldn't agree more. Esp in the smaller areas too like Providence. Nothing left.

And then when you think about Italy, that's a whole other story. They're constantly rebuilding the ranks because of how bad of shape the country in economically. So those families/clans will never leave those ghettos. So it only reinforces your point and that's why the mafia will never die in that country.
