Another important factor that hasn’t yet been mentioned is the Second Amendment. When everybody and their grandma can (and probably does) have a gun, interacting with masses of poor random strangers becomes more unappealing to the average person if they can help it.

(That point was indirectly implied in pj3000’s post above, the one with pics of the NYC subway in the ‘80s…)
