Most people in the country live in cities though, so it's not really unreasonable to be surprised that some people never encounter the extremely destitute. Maybe it is you who should leave your bubble of wealthy suburbanites?

I live near Iowa City. I encounter several folks wanting a donation every time I go downtown. A couple I know, I always put a buck or two in the can and pass a comment on the weather or whatnot.
