Goddamn, I just came across this post in LA's Reddit and I don't think I've ever seen Los Angeles and the United States roasted so accurately and devastatingly. The state of our cities really should be a national embarrassment.
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
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?

Thanks
I couldn’t say. I don’t know what is like in Europe to compare it to.
