>People who are unlucky to be earning just enough to be excluded in one way or the other, from these UBI handouts Universal Basic Income means there are no such people, by definition. >as in say an universal extra $10,000 bump to _absolutely everyone_ regardless of income class ( if that is what they even _mean_ when they say UBI; I doubt it is ) Yes it is. That is the definition of UBI. >a) their kids cannot get into those choice daycare centers which weren't so crammed only a few years ago >c) their favorite restaurants are always booked or have lines out the door ( a perennial theme in SF ) [2] Your reference contradicts your point. It says SF has more restaurants per household than elsewhere, so one would assume they are much less crowded on average. Moreover, if services start to become crowded as a result of increased demand, then new ones will open to cater to that demand. > d) the rent pressure is greater for a smaller inventory of listings in the desirable neighborhoods There's plenty of affordable desirable housing available, the problem is that it's nowhere near the jobs people need to pay for it. If you pay people Basic Income, they can afford to move out of the expensive cities which in turn reduces demand for housing within them.
