"The problem with the poor" is definitely multifaceted. You need to fix transportation, health care, availability of jobs, cost of housing, availability of essentials such as groceries/laundry, cost of utilities, availability and quality of public services such as schools and job training programs, and stem systemic incarceration of minorities, in addition to providing special services such as child care/day care, family planning, counseling, and so on. Imagining that $10k is going to solve these things is insane. Even if you took all the money you gave to each of the people in an area and added it all up, it still couldn't even pay for a fraction of the services mentioned above. This isn't to say UBI wouldn't be helpful. But let's face it, UBI is just some academic's moon-shot that they hope will magically improve everything, without thinking through all the complex logistical issues that require more than a bigger paycheck to solve. Sure, give people money, but don't imagine for a second that it will end poverty. It may make poverty more tolerable, possibly extending it.
