Radical concept: you could provide UBI in the form of housing, food and transportation
2 comments

Food and transportation is extremely cheap nowadays. Big bag of rice is couple dollars and a bicycle is a 100$.

Oh, people don't want affordable food but a 20-buck burrito and a 100k truck of ridiculous size?

If your city is bikable, that's terrific!
What's happens to the price of construction when the state suddenly commissions millions of homes?
when each home is a cardboard shack?
