For details checkout geo-libertarianism. But in short the argument is that the common resources, “land”, should be allocated according to the preferences of the commons (see John Locke), not the individual. In practice have land owners pay the would be non-owners it’s full market value for the privilege of being called the owner (see Rawls, Justice as Fairness for this step). Call it a land value tax (see Henry George) or call it land rent. However, since it’s a payment to the commons, not the state, the only thing to do is to divide it fairly as a public dividend.
End result: a fair and proper UBI.
