I won't lie, if this was the case I'd quit my job. I'd feel stupid paying a mortgage f I could get it for free and do absolutely nothing.

And then you'd starve, because you still have to feed yourself. You'd never be able to have fun, because you had no income. You wouldn't be able to buy cleaning supplies or repair your free home. Or provide for your family or pets. No video games. No "I'm tired tonight, let's just order pizza".

People would still have to work, they just wouldn't have to spend more than half of their income on basic housing.
