“Universal basic income” is terrible, except that it’s much better than the alternative of specialized vouchers/entitlements/etc.

Housing vouchers will do nothing more than increase prices. Landlords know low-income renters will have that voucher, so raise otherwise market prices accordingly.

“Universal basic income”

They separate SNAP, housing vouchers, Medicaid out because the poor are often very talented at squandering money.

I’m proposing to reduce the damage done.

San Francisco and NYC are good places to start.
