Neither UBI nor any other policy changes that.
Housing costs in expensive markets are set primarily by land values and not by the value of the capital/building upon the land.
Yes you can make a dent in the problem it by zoning for more units, but you cannot zone more land into existence in high value areas.
For those who are convinced supply&demand doesn't work for dwellings, buy a rental and charge 10x the market rate. See how that goes. This applies to any business. For example, try selling something on Amazon/Ebay/Etsy/Craigslist. You can charge whatever you like for it. Whether someone will buy it is another thing entirely.
Everyone needs food, too, but ironically it's the unneeded food (like Starbucks) that's expensive.
If you work in an expensive city, pay $2000 for one room, good luck finding a room for $40.
It is precisely the problem that you cannot opt out of the housing market, at least when you need a calm and safe environment to think.
Even when you don't, it is probably illegal to set up a tent somewhere, and legal camping sites are pretty expensive and horrible, too.
How that should go is you get taxed at the same rate as if you had set it at a price it could be rented at, therefore encouraging you to set your price correctly.
That’s the LVT, that’s basically the entire thing.
Nobody pays income tax if they aren't making money. That's why they're called "income" taxes.
Density of land use isn't fixed. We can build in three dimensions.
Also there's tons of land that's hardly used at all in the form of golf courses. We should build cheap housing on them.
