Basic income could have the effect of flattening out demand rather - at the moment, people are forced to cluster close to where the work is available. If I want to just live on basic income, why not go somewhere more affordable?

A broader range of acceptable locations spread amongst the same population is clearly likely to decrease overall competition for a given property.
