This doesn't show the new dance.

From Google for "2016 U.S. homeless population":

I first saw the new dance when I went back to being homeless after being evicted in 2017 for confronting the property management about the hidden, illegal cameras in my apartment.

Someone whom I had known from previous years of homelessness, who was better after just getting out of jail than I had ever known her to be, and whom the Pine Street Inn and every other shelter and homeless service in Boston HAD UNRESERVEDLY, SELF-RIGHTEOUSLY FAILED EVEN TO TRY TO KEEP ON TRACK AFTER HER RELEASE FROM JAIL, degenerated week after week.  After months of falling back into drug use, one night her limbs were flailing around in what I knew from my years of being in mental hospitals off and on was a neurological reaction over which she had no control.  I asked her what happened.  She said it was something in the drugs she had used.  I think that she is probably going to die, if she hasn't already.  She wasn't even thirty when I first met her.

Since then, I have seen other people who look homeless walking around in the Park Street station area, doing the same dance.

FUCK ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES!
