That amount would likely require universal health care to make it comfortable to live off of. You would still not be able to afford decent housing in a major city though, as you would have to split a studio apartment with several people.
- Ekaros 6y agoWith UBI I always question should it even afford a decent housing in major city. Or is it more reasonable to expect it to pay for decent housing(a flat) and basic living expenses including food, clothing and other necessities in some town with reasonable basic services?
- carabiner 6y agoHuge swaths (40% or so?) of the US live outside of big cities. It's just inconceivable that every one of them is seriously deprived and miserable doing so. They have friends, hobbies, lives that they can do outside of dense urban areas.
- extrapickles 6y agoYou should be able to afford major city if you are able to split the fixed costs of living with someone. Its more likely that people on UBI without any supplemental income would live in a suburb of the major city. A true UBI would make abuse of low wage workers difficult as they can easily leave the job without worrying about being able to eat.
