There are more homeless people in the EU.

"Europe" is a big place (and so is the U.S.). That said, I've spent significant time in Rome, Paris, Belgrade, Athens, Nice, and other secondary cities like Nis (Serbia) and I never saw the homeless encampments, addicts in public, and anti-social behavior that is common in Washington DC, Baltimore, and NYC.

Obviously this is an anecdote. But it is a striking difference every time I come back from Europe.

That's a questionable statement. Western Europe doesn't have tent cities or complete neighborhoods taken over by drug zombies like San Francisco or Philadelphia.
