Comment on A government-guaranteed basic income

Comments

Compounding the problem would be upward pressure on housing prices that a UBI may spur.

Easy housing loans with low deposits make house prices go up. A universal basic income would make rents go up.

A more optimistic prediction is that a UBI would encourage the development of more low-income housing.
