Yes, the money has to come from somewhere, but the traditional form is that UBI distributions replace most or all other forms of social services. Right now, I'm paying out and receiving little or nothing back directly (and I am not arguing that I should -- I don't need, say, food stamps, or subsidized housing at the moment, but those programs should be there for those who do). Why wouldn't it be rational for my landlord to want my UBI money?
