You may be right. I haven't wandered around, recently. But, from what have seen, even those places most destitute, they're not much worse off than what I experienced in the 80s and 90s. Now, it's a shame that those places haven't experienced the growth and vibrance that many areas did over the past 30 years. But, having lived in the US without basic necessities like housing, plumbing, food, or heat, I will say that it doesn't seem as bad as you make it.
