And yet the housing will be still shitty compared with market driven solutions, such is UBI

Homelessness is the market driven solution you dense as osmium apologist.

Where's that copy pasta that the only thing more depressing than the brutalist commieblock housing complexes is the homelessness they were built to prevent post WWII devastation?
