> But they don't have major drug problems or homeless on the streets.

Singapore has homeless people [1]. They're sometimes homeless by choice or pride.

It's more obvious if one is out and about in the housing areas at night. I walk past one homeless person sleeping on a void deck bench every day.

Yes, though I qualified it as "major". In some US cities, it's almost one homeless person per bench.

And in other parts of the US, everyone has a family member or knows someone with a family member suffering from drug addiction.
