Like user home pages in apache for example.

Besides on most systems your home directory is part of your won personal
group.

I believe apache will put up with a home dir that is rwxr--r-- as long
as public_html (or equivelant) is rwxr-xr-x underneath it.  rwx------
won't work though since then it can't find the inoe for the public_html
dir.
