> All things that people who have houses are free to do without being punished. So yeah, anybody does care if you have a house, practically speaking.

I don't think so.

If I go to a restaurant and am refused service, it's not because I couldn't present a deed. It's based on whether your state makes everybody around you uncomfortable.

Maybe if you have a suit, then you can get away with yelling or more drinking, but that's a stereotype about attire (or really class-ism), not about having a house. Houses actually have very little to do with any of this.

It seems the GP's point was that you can be drunk, unshowered, and yelling at home, and nobody cares. It's when you don't have a home that it is seen as an issue.
A homeless person could be drunk, unshowered, and yelling out in the woods by themselves and no one would care. It's the drunk, unsanitary, and loosely coupled with reality around other people that is a problem. No one cares about these things unless there's a chance it's going to turn into violence or a public health/sanitation issue.
