why? Because:

- the car is the most used trandportation method and especially in suburbs you need it for everything, since nothing is in a distance where other methods work.

- the food contains too much sugar and fat, since its cheap for everything.

- guns are everywhere and every member of the police has to expect that anyone else can shoot him or that he/she is called into a active shooting

- heathcare costs more than in every other developed country. So people don't make appointment unless they have to.
