As a Brit I'm always shocked when visiting America and the high levels of crime and desperate people. I'm talking clearly mentally ill people in wheelchairs on street corners. No-go zones (for white people). Open selling of drugs near tourist hotspots with young families nearby.
It's like a weird mix of a wealthy 1st world country with all the problems of a 3rd world one.
Here in the UK we clearly have our own problems, but stuff like this just wouldn't be tolerated.

- CodeGlitch 5y ago> Or no go towns for black people. Yes of course - but I'm white so was just describing my experience.
- mbrodersen 5y agoAgree. Every time I visited the US it was worse. The desperation, the trash, the roads full of holes, the broken down cars, clearly crazy people walking the streets. Mixed with little islands of smug self-important doing-well people who clearly didn’t care about the misery surrounding their little island. We are no longer planning to visit the US. It is too depressing.
- QuesnayJr 5y agoOne thing that surprised me last time I was in London were the signs everywhere warning about people in bikes snatching your phone.
