https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rat...

Top 50 cities (not in a war) with the highest homicide rates (best proxy for crime, (a) because it's most easily available, (b) it's fairly easy to compare across places because different places have different reporting and data collection standards) lists 8 cities in the US and 0 in Europe.

What is amazing and took me by surprise that even Eastern European cities just coming out of the Cold War have lower homicide rates than at least 8 US cities.

Also, if you think the homeless problem in the US is like anywhere else in the developed world you need to get out more.
