      Comparing a city to a country doesn’t really work.

        Why not. Walk around San Fransisco. There are multiple streets alternating from full of homeless people to upscale housing and hotels. Never seen that in the UK.

          You just described London. Most of the city is a depressing dump, literal ghetto compared to any big city in the US
