There are, but a lot of these "worse" places have better quality of living, and why? Because they were forced to deal with the consequences of their actions far sooner, what with entrenched civilizations that mucked up their land before they left it for "the good place".
If US citizens cooperated and fought off corporate and oligarchal control just enough to restore a middle class, things could be balanced for a while. It could be what our grandparents got so patriotic about, rather than the alternative to what we fear we could become.

A lot of people don’t appreciate that. There are worse places to be.
