Two issues I've seen with this:
1. People have been held liable for criminal activity conducted via their internet connection
2. The bandwidth gets saturated pretty quickly and, unless you are able to throttle it, there's nothing left for you
For a while a non-profit I help out with had an open wifi network. They needed it to be open, but a neighbor was leeching heavily. The router wasn't very sophisticated, but I was able to set it so the internet was turned off during a couple days of the week when they weren't there. That got rid of the leech.

Since I also work at a school, I know what a crap-ton of bad mojo can come down on one, if one is responsible for "little jonny" or "little janey" accessing the internet and showing all their friends "two girls, one cup", or "Mia Khalifa's best @#$%&".

That said, in our area, if you get Comcast/Xfinity Xfi router set up, you're doing this very thing, at least for other Xfinity subscribers. They charge you $25/mo for it, but you get unlimited data if you have it. (No thanks.)
