All the examples of safety that you provide describe my experience in the US too, FWIW.

Public housing in the US is not a place most people want to be and no reasonable person leaves their phone on a table and goes anywhere.
Public housing in Singapore is not equivalent to those elsewhere simply due to them being built not for the poor but for population demographic control with arbitrary ethnic quotas per building and rules preventing singles from leasing flats. 70-80% of the population lives in public housing estates which are sold with a 99year lease, you don’t even get to own your own flat.

That too. I never worry about guns in my daily life.
