Why do Americans do drugs and have more bad behavior than other parts of the world if it's just a personal choice?
Blaming the poor for being poor does not help. Other countries does not depend so much inn police but on other social services, that 'non sense' actually makes a lot of sense and works. Police cannot solved social problems.
So, I agree that voters do not back up these policies. And that is why you get the problems and human suffering that you get.

- Intermernet 5y agoIt looks like the US is definitely up there for drug use. I'm not sure about bad behaviour, but it's a bit of an international reputation. Personally, most US citizens I've met have been, on average, equally as nice as people from anywhere else. https://ourworldindata.org/drug-use https://ourworldindata.org/drug-use

Sort per capita, and yes I know this is probably a flawed list whatever it's good enough. We are not talking about "America" we are primarily talking about SF or more broadly coastal California.
