This is part of it. Regan shut down the asylum system a few decades ago because muh lobotomies and muh abuse. So I stead of fixing it they just kicked everybody out onto the streets lol. There's 0 inpatient long term psych stuff here. You're basically fucked if you're mentally ill (or just poor for that matter). Something like 3/4 or 1/2 of the homeless are nuts. Combine that with them all being drug addicts and perpetually surrounded by traumatizing experiences and you end up with a retarded, psycho, violent population. Public transit in the US is very hit or miss. Some places have clean trains and no nut cases--the DC metro was surprisingly clean. Some places have subway systems with piss and shit soaked cars and people ODing ontop of you (NY, SF). In most places like where I love in NH it just doesn't exist.
Mental illness and random violence are hallmarks of the American experience though, one way or the other. It gets exaggerated by some but there are lots of thirdie tier locations here which makes their juxtaposition against neighborhoods next to them that are the richest in the world all the wilder.
