I like the idea of ubi because of its simplicity and it makes more dificult to "game the system" . In Brazil I see that a lot.
With food stamps there would have places with food and cigars, that would sell cigars for food stamps. If there was a rule for no drinks on the the food stamps, people would that too.
Similar things would happen to rents.
It's better to keep it simple, and avoid the rules, bureocracy, and extra fiscalization.
That said, ubi also would have its flaws: some would use dead people ids to receive it, take from someone else before he receives. It happens here with social security. But that should be easier to identify.
