Let’s see what Reddit comes up with.
Honestly: Racism.
I didn't notice that it was a problem here until I went to Portland, OR for the first time. Everyone there smiled and said good morning and was so friendly. I relayed this experience to a white friend, and he pointed out that when he walks around central FL, people smile and say hello to him. The only thing really different between him and me is that he's white and I'm not.
From that point on, I started to notice it. White people in Florida are friendly and have "southern hospitality" to show towards other white people, but not to us.
I don’t smile at strangers on the street so they don’t feel encouraged to ask for money or cigarettes. I certainly wouldn’t want to smile at this clearly developmentally disabled Redditor.

He's probably a hustle and bustle-cel.
Smile outside of the city: the other person smiles back
Smile in the city: attract the attention of some homeless junkie or gangbanger that's going to leave you bleeding in an alley
