Because there are millions of people hoping to strike it rich without the slightest regard for anyone else. Many of them equally have zero regard for law and order. The only thing that keeps them from committing outright crimes is the fear of incarceration or getting kicked out right back to where they came from. A large percentage of those would kill their grandma for a million bucks if offered without legal repercussions.
Here you have your simple answer. Stupid people think they are the lucky one to make it. The tiny intelligent, honest, and hardworking percentage strike it rich and buy themselves and their families what most others can't and raise high fences around everything they accumulate in fear of having it stolen by the mob. The exact same way the existing wealthy already isolate themselves from the rest of society. It is a deliberate system that was built to favor the few powerful and connected while maintaining a huge lie about chances and opportunities for the masses. This might have been different a long time ago but is not the case today.
Still none of my guess invalidates the facts on the table which is that the US scores shockingly low on most metrics that measure quality of life and happiness. Must Americans (and for that matter a majority of Canadians) can't even survive for 2 or 3 months without paycheck and over 50 percent of the entire population reported that they will operate at a loss if their paycheck decreased by just 200 dollars. Speaking of living on the edge. We are not speaking of a fringe minority or the lazy, we speak here of half of your entire nation.
