while i'm quite skeptical of ubi, i'm down for radically redesigning the incentives implicit in all aspects of society around housing (like zoning, regulatory oversight, and building codes) so that rising values get inventively plowed back into the community, rather than accumulating unhelpfully in often-far-away wealth hoarding games.
for instance, a more progressive tax system, perhaps leveraging land value taxes and wealth taxes, to make it unprofitable to stagnate land use in the middle of cities. also, let's properly price parking and roads to internalize all the negative externalities they exact on society (e.g., pollution, and distortions against human scale development), to tilt the land use balance back toward humans over lightly-used machines.
