Of course that opens up a whole can of other security problems. Since Apache is
run as a non-root process it needs to have global read on all files and folders
in those directories to display them. By doing that you need to lock down each
of those home directories with either .htaccess files or something else to keep
everyone from seeing everyone else's files on that system.
