UBI would make it easier to exit the big city. Housing would become much more affordable relative to total income in areas outside the most expensive metros. Suddenly you can take on a job that doesn't quite pay as much, in a lower density area, and with the help of UBI you can have a house and disposable income. Before, maybe you couldn't do that because total income would drop too much. Ideally, SF/Seattle/NYC would reform zoning, which would help reduce inflationary pressure in those specific areas, but that reform wouldn't be necessary for UBI to still have a big helpful impact on housing affordability for most people.
