The problem with UBI is the landlords will just jack the rents accordingly. That's what happened in the UK when the govt introduced Housing Benefit. The landlords jacked the rent. So effectively the taxpayer subsidizes landlords.
- kyleee 3y agoI tend to worry about this too; if UBI has a chance in hell at working we’d have to pair it will a wild increase in the availability in housing including in the biggest and most desirable population centers. And even if that occurred and the housing cost issue is avoided, companies of all stripes will be angling hard to capture people’s new additional income.
