    Landlords and groceries can just raise prices to bring the cost of living up

    They already can, and do. If they do it too much, people leave that area. With a UBI, there’s nothing that says you have to live in a big city, it would be easier to move to bfe, where it’s always going to be cheaper. It’s not ideal of course to uproot and leave, but it’s possible, and it’s that possibility that keeps prices somewhat under control.



  • No, it’s because your answer is overly simplistic. We don’t build one lane roads, we tend to build 3 or 4 in each direction, at least in cities.

    Also, leave a road alone, it does not just sit there. In cold climates you get frost heaves, in hot climates asphalt is never truly “solid” so it gets ruts… water causes damage, plants grow through it…

    Add in some of the other responses and we have a more complete picture. I’m not convinced. At best it might be a wash.

    *edit* just realized you’re not the same person, sorry. My point still stands though.
