buy land, because a part of UBI will translate to higher rents.
Land taxes will likely be a big part of funding the UBI. That’s one mechanism by which rents will rise, but it means that buying land doesn’t evade it.
At it’s base, this is redistribution of wealth, not creation of wealth. I support it on humanitarian grounds, while recognizing that I probably will lose monetarily in any implementation. Anyone rich enough to rearrange their life to get UBI is likely in the class of funders, not funded. That’s OK! Moving to help get it started, even if it means paying higher taxes yourself is a public service.
