Because, while crime is high, and power is intermittent, it is not bad enough to make me give up my 700sqm house on a 2000sqm plot in a (somewhat safe) suburb close to everything, to live elsewhere in about a quarter of the space.
Every time I look at emigrating I face a large drop in my standard of living if am in a similar role in any high-paying area in the US or UK.
