The biggest advantage I can see is that it would let people get out of such supply-constrained housing markets. If you're got a guaranteed $15-20k UBI, then why not bail on being in a super-expensive city? Go earn minimum wage as a lifty at a ski mountain out in Wyoming or Montana, where land is dirt cheap, or whatever else it is that would float your boat. The downside in most of these areas now is that the employment market sucks. Consequently, you already tend to see a lot of people on fixed incomes, like retirees, living there.
