“Why do I give a shit? It isn’t mine.”

Personally, I think a lot of the behavior you mention is tied to a lack of ownership/personal investment in their community.

Unpopular opinion time: I think a year or so of mandatory service after high school would be beneficial for most people in this regard. Working for pretty much any non-religous social organization would be work and bring people closer to the place that they live and increase empathy for those who are worse off than they are.
