>if you institute a UBI of $1000/month, the maximum that people are willing (and able) to pay suddenly increases by around $1000/month Most people are not willing to spend all of their excess money on rent. It will increase demand in desirable areas but landlords do not get to just raise rents because they want more money. Your cause and effect are mixed up. Home owners don't do a calculation macro conditions and interest rates when setting a price. They look at comps, list, then go "wow, we got 3 bids over asking". They accept the highest one. The next sellers see their sale and set prices accordingly.
