What do you think of the history of street gangs in my fictional city Wildecoast?

First of all love your response. Wildecoast is as big as two new York cities put together. It's the biggest city in the USA. Wildecoast has A population of 3970 million. The police department say there are 112,000 gang members in the city. Not counting members of motorcycle gangs or other criminal organizations.

Not all organized crime have connections to street gangs. But the ones who do use gangs as distributors for drugs. Or to put hits on someone. Sometimes the mafia groups out hits out on someone and hired gang members to take out the individual to make it look gang related not mob related. To make the police think it's just another gang on gang violence thing. And have nothing to do with the mafia.

"Big gangs are like an organized crime organization, so the organized crime organizations do not want any big gang in their city. "

Some street gangs get so powerful that they even take on the mafia for control over turfs. So mafia groups only go for smaller street gangs.

"Does really every ethnic minority needs a ethnic gang" Some gangs have members from different ethnicities and races. Sometimes neighborhoods demographics play a role in the gangs having ethnic based gangs.

"There should be more differences between gangs than the ethnicity"
