My personal worry about UBI is that it will simply be transferred to landlords. We need to figure out how to solve the housing problem.

there is a 2nd order effect with ubi.

you have less of an incentive of having everybody in the same overcrowded cities (reducing rent and making ownership easier).

you can also do rent control and/or maintain an oversupply of housing by law.
