We aren't there yet. In most of the country you can walk around without much concern and you can shop safely with merchants you don't know. In many places, people still leave their doors unlocked without concern.
The problem is that trust is extremely asymmetric. It takes generations to develop a high-trust society and that can unravel fast. However much trust has been lost, we won't be getting it back anytime soon.
