'Organized Crime' consists of shit like drug trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, human trafficking and extortion.

This is not how mafia works. Not in 2021.

Untrue. The current year doesn't matter when it comes to what activities organized crime groups. First of all, you say they don't do kidnappings, but still do human trafficking? Human trafficking generally entails kidnapping, the two crimes go hand in hand, and extortion is still actively done by crime groups of all types, not just the Mafia. The 'Mafia' isn't the only organized crime group that exists.

Any OCG can be deemed a Mob. So it does work that way in generalization. Basis case tho? Different scenario.

The people you're referring to in the report are rping some dogshit mafia shit, not a gang. There's no Albanian or Italian street gangs.

There's Albanian street gangs, I just don't think their prevalent in Los Angeles. Mostly London and New York (these city's seem identical in culture and it's so odd).

I'm fairly sure there's no Albanian street gangs, especially not in LA where Latinos run everything

To be honest, there's literally anything anywhere if you look for it hard enough. Not that I think that these discussions are very productive, they more often than not just devolve into different parties trying to convince each other how much they know about a subject. And why they should have a deciding voice as an authority figure in whether someone can or can't do something.

Show me proof of Yakuza operating in Compton then.

All jokes aside, I'm confident you know what I mean.

It really does depend on what happened with said character. My character has been only robbed twice since his creation and it didn't really warrant him to act super careful, but still, considering the neighborhood he lives in and the stuff he hears, he has reasons to watch over his back and play it safe in certain neighborhoods if not his own.

Avoiding the whole complaining about robbery and extortion and such, I do try to take it as ICly as possible while still maintaining some miraculous suspension of disbelief. My characters acknowledge they live in Afghanisantos, and as a result I just don't really go that many places anymore, especially not alone. It just wouldn't make sense to.
