Many still live within the boros themselves, many more have moved to the suburbs which is a trend because the demographics in the city changed. But they still come into the city to do business and/or hang around daily. But social clubs which were on nearly every corner years back are no more. I myself owned several private clubs in my day, I gave that up twenty years back. Today, the guys hang in restaurants, cafes, stores, businesses that they run. Social clubs draw way too much heat and the cops bust em up. You can't even have a card game anymore. So what's the point? But there are a lot of guys all around the city. Make no mistake about it. And that means tons of crews!

Fair enough. Tons of crews, tons of guys. Ton is a weight. A more accurate assessment would be there are 2 family crews in the Arthur Avenue area with many a dozen made guys and maybe 80 associates in that area alone. There aren't tons of crews. There are 2 crews around Arthur Avenue. A dozen made members. You can factually say there are a ton of associates. If a ton is 100 that is.
