That's true, but making the basic income unconditional is going to change the population distribution drastically. There are a lot of nice, beautiful, cheap places in America where people don't live mainly because there's no work. If you have a basic income, that changes the calculus about where you can live. So those price increases will happen, but they're likely to happen in places where prices are already very low.
