US cities are also full of homeless people and thugs with guns. Plus it's not safe to walk on the street, you have to drive everywhere.
Pros and cons.
Pros and cons.
So are big European cities like Amsterdam, London, Paris etc. The only difference is that it's not guns but knifes, machetes, brass knuckles and what not.
Those are just problems of big cities, not some problem unique to the US.
Top 50 cities (not in a war) with the highest homicide rates (best proxy for crime, (a) because it's most easily available, (b) it's fairly easy to compare across places because different places have different reporting and data collection standards) lists 8 cities in the US and 0 in Europe.
What is amazing and took me by surprise that even Eastern European cities just coming out of the Cold War have lower homicide rates than at least 8 US cities.
Also, if you think the homeless problem in the US is like anywhere else in the developed world you need to get out more.
