on fedora/rhel/centos system the packaging creates user and group apache and that is the user/group by default that is serving web pages

of course - if /home/dave is octal 0700 (_rwx______) then no one but the user dave who owns the system can descend into the folder.
if you 'chmod o+x /home/dave' it becomes octal 0701 (_rwx_____x) and then everyone can descend into the folders and even execute files that they have permissions for. That means that files created with default umask of 755 would be executable.
Do you have a better solution?
It really all depends on what he wants to do with it. if its going to be accessed by everyone or is just for him? that is something that would have to be decided before any solution can be thought of.
