UBI seems like a interesting idea but I don't think it's more than a small part of a bigger solution.
It could possibly help people from having 3-4 part time jobs just to make ends meet, but other problematic areas still exist.
Affordable housing, get people off the street / living in their cars.
Public medical care that doesn't require insurance or bankrupt you.
Higher education system that doesn't leave you with a life long debt.
