My vague contribution to this would be; what if var. supernatural groups have a relatively small geographic power base, but also have spheres of influence that spread out within the city, marked by particular signs and symbols?
Vampires, for instance, probably control the hospitals (for John Does and 'expired' bloodpacks). Fae might sponsor and control artists, musicians, and actors, if they're the 'linked to strong emotion' type of Fae (feel free to provide details on this). As 'muscle', the weres could run more traditional crime than most of the others, gambling and similar, using their killy-murder skills to keep others from butting in. And witches, depending on what type of witches they are, could stake claim to academic institutions (hermetic magi), historical landmarks (leylines et. al.), or new-age grocers (hedge-witch herblore).
The reason I think this is a good idea/important is because it makes the lines of influence and control a little less 'neat', since they're conceptual rather than geographic, and that gives you a little more story potential.
Probably not expressing it perfectly, but oh well.
