Some smaller systems can payback in as little as two years. Larger systems should still pay back in less than 10.

I’m all for supporting low-to-middle incomes but it’s still a huge investment for those not in (or just outside) that bracket. I can’t spend 10k now to see the return in 20 years, assuming the rates stay decent. It’s not practical.

Well yes you’ve discovered the problem of means testing any benefit. Its much better in general just to give everyone the option instead of farting about with the admin of deciding who is eligible.

Yeah this is basically the argument for universal basic income, on top of eliminating poverty.
