Would large urban areas be safer if we didn't take down the mafia?

Always hear how criminals were kept in check and crimes to certain areas. Seems like the civilized criminals were removed and animals took over.

Italians aren't the ones killing and robbing each other on the street, so no.

You've been watching Inside the American Mob on Netflix too I see

“Always hear” from who?

Most of the recent growth is in newer cities that lack traditional white ethnic groups you see in the northeast. I don’t think it would have much effect on places like Houston, Atlanta, dallas, Phoenix.

Places like Seattle, Portland, austin, Denver are already predominantly white and have low crime rates.

End of prohibition and more recently commercialization of Las Vegas/Atlantic City did more than the fbi could.

thats the thing. it depends on the area. if the mob was operating and doing business in the area, no serious crime groups like street gangs were going to function for long

the french quarter certainly wouldnt be filled with all the project trash if italian american organized crime was still running shite

Maybe

For years I paid my people extra so they wouldn't do that kind of business. Somebody comes to them and says, «I have powders; if you put up three, four thousand dollar investment - we can make fifty thousand distributing.» So they can't resist. I want to control it as a business, to keep it respectable. I don't want it near schools - I don't want it sold to children! That's an infamia. In my city, we would keep the traffic in the dark people - the colored. They're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls.
