That would be a very, very, very bad idea. It would cripple your system
and you would probably end up reinstalling.

My purpose beeing that local users can't access/read any file which isn't
in their own home directory.

Then they would not be able to run any programs. What are you trying to
achieve? You can easily arrange for them not to be able to access each
other's files.
