Did you move back in with family during the 2020 pandemic? Did someone you know pack their car, break their lease, and drive home to a parent's spare bedroom?
Here is what almost nobody realized at the time: under the federal government's own definition, losing your housing and doubling up with relatives due to economic hardship counts as homelessness. Not metaphorically. By definition. In July 2020, 52 percent of young American adults were living with their parents, a higher share than during the Great Depression. Millions of people experienced homelessness that year and never had to wear the label, because the Bank of Mom and Dad kept it off their record.
Many of them went right back to despising the people who had no spare bedroom to retreat to.

NEW: Intoxicated demonic Florida woman strips to her underwear, spits on deputy during gas station exorcism arrest
Deputies responded to the Texaco after reports of a 33-year-old Iesha Field yelling at customers and acting erratically.
After being trespassed, she went to a nearby mobile home park, removed her clothing down to her underwear, and continued yelling and disturbing residents.
When deputies tried to detain Field, she became combative, and she spat in a deputy’s face twice.
The deputy responded with an open-handed strike to stop her from spitting again.
Field was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer (felony) and disorderly intoxication.
