Big cities breed apathy like nowhere else on Earth, and the longer someone lives in a major city alongside millions of people the more cancerous things they're exposed to.
Here's an example of big city apathy in action- a woman walking down the sidewalk with a slice of pizza witnessed a car hit a pedestrian about ten feet away from her...then walked off eating her pizza, seemingly unfazed by what she's just seen.
The woman's strange reaction was captured on video by a security camera, seemingly unmoved by the fact that she was only a few feet away from being hit by the car herself. That must be some mighty tasty pizza!

Yes, yes, it does sound callous. I am reminded of the Kitty Genovese case in New York. I am only human.
