DougE your post could be ripped apart since it is very location based and slanted to a few select areas in the US with each negative you posted. Only one you may have a semi fair point on is the school system.
Huh? I've travelled throughout the USA very extensively, including several cross-country road trips, more plane trips than I can count, and I even took a round trip greyhound trip from Toronto to Mexico City (3.5 days each way).

I have yet to see a Canadian town or city that comes CLOSE to the ghettos that I've experienced in my travels throughout the USA. Not even close. We don't really have boarded up houses, let alone whole blocks of them. We don't have houses riddled with bulletholes, let alone whole blocks of them. I have yet to see graffiti drawn on a house in Canada. We can politely wave at our police, and get a wave back. They don't think we're "mocking" them.

Baltimore was the absolute armpit as far as I've seen, Buffalo can't hold a candle to Baltimore.. That city is like 2 square blocks of nice hotels and restaurants, and then GHETTO. The whole fucking place.
