That could work in our country. Some wants the nearest to stay rather than always going to school where you might be late always due to heavy traffic. You can do some house rules, a curfew might work and no visitors besides family. It can work if it will taken seriously.
Sure that could work, but here there are too many free stuff, and many investment opportunities are ruined because of it.
I`m not saying it is evil, but it definitely distorts the economy.
