Yes, that is pretty representative of the US as a whole.
In my experience, the other pedestrians that I’ve encountered haven’t been particularly friendly.
I'm sorry, I meant the gross inequality and obvious despair. I should have been more specific. Your experience is by far more common here.
How bad is it compared to Europe?
Depends where you go, there clearly is a periphery to Europe that has a lot of misery like Greece since the IMF fucked it up. In all core countries there is poverty at certain places but overall it's less dumbfounding than the US from what I've seen in the media
Thanks
I couldn't say. I don't know what is like in Europe to compare it to.
