We do have laws that do tell you how you can and cannot use your house, computer, phone, and car.

  Pedantic examples: 
  - You cannot imprison another adult human within your house. 
  - You cannot access a secured computer system with your computer. 
  - You cannot (could not?) use your phone during certain parts of airplane takeoff and landing, and they may not be allowed in certain buildings.
  - You cannot park your car wherever you want; only on the side of the street and not in the middle of the street.
Furthermore, transience discourages communities, regardless of the transient's income level.

It appears that you equate imprisonment with someone occupying an unused home. Is that correct ?
From the other examples, I think it's pretty clear that it's just a list of examples. What do you read into the others provided?
