A streamer I follow made the argument that UBI is a bad idea as it’s effectively a mechanism for massive wealth transfers to landlords and the capitalist class: Giving people £1600 a month in UBI could just means rents go up to extract that additional cash. Do you think that’s a plausible reason to be wary of UBI? I find it pretty compelling, so I prefer UBS as an end goal.

I really disagree with this, I feel like it's a big reach and just a left-wing version of the EE-style inflation hypothesis. Rents might rise, but I'm not sure there's evidence they will rise that much, and such a big claim would require big evidence.
