1) Inflation effects.  If everyone gets, say, $3,000/month, will even the cheapest apartment in the most remote town have rent less than that?  


3000 bucks a month Adrian? 

Take a rich state government such as California.  

OK bad example, California is having bad budget deficit problems.  Take a rich state government such as Idaho.  Their UBI would likely be more like 300 bucks a month, not 3000, and it wouldn't be universal.  It would go to the most needy only.

I don't think anyone believes any UBI any state, county or even city can supply will cover an apartment, certainly not where you grew up and where I live.
