America (and by that I mean the USA in this case, which I assume you did too) is every bit as much a sh#t hole country as the ones you mention. Just in very different ways.
So why visit then?
As for those calling the USA a sh#thole I don't recall 20+ million illegals crossing third world borders to get into those counties.
Don't confuse 'better' and 'good'
Just because you live in a '50 story apartment building' or are 'packed like sardines' does not mean that you cannot add a bit of color or a potted plant to make it better. The less you rely on government to do things for you the better off you will be in the long run. Government might say that they will do this, that, or the other thing to get your vote, but once they do then something else will come along that they think needs their attention first (lobbyists, donors, special interest groups, and so on).
Take care of yourselves and your neighborhoods first and you will be better off.
I don't actually believe you take care of cleaning up anything. You moved into a wealthy clean neighborhood and all you do is sweep and take out your trash.
Terrible neighborhoods are always trash because of the people and the government. There are too many regs and laws against it. A guy built steps for a hill in a park. The city tore it out and fined him.
