Not many millionaire are going to go down to the depot every month and get their government-issued bag of rice, even if they could if they wanted.

No but you can guarantee every millionaire and every temporarily embarrassed millionaire will be complaining that they shouldn't have to pay taxes to contribute to that because they don't use it. Just like they do with public housing, public schools, public health care etc.

You public housing concept is a little terrifying, I think it wouldnt be a big step from there to just provide people with a space that is dedicated to them rather than having to share with strangers. The benefits to conflict mitigation would far outweigh the additional cost.

Oh dear lord in heaven, I've apparently become a Dickensian villain...Did I just recreate the poor houses? Oh dear. Yeah, maybe separate rooms are better. There's spartan, and then there's "we built a prison."

Yeah I think it mostly works in colleges because people want to be there. Even then people sometimes get lumped in with some pretty horrific roommates.
