Those seem incompatible to me.

(UBI means Universal Basic Income, giving everyone a basic income, for free)

      Right. Yes. That’s a good answer because when you pay rent the landlord does indeed get the money.

      I was asking more about what happens to building construction. Anyone?

        Nothing happens. There are loads of zoning laws that make it effectively impossible to build in most areas these days anyway

          Yeah so I guess if you introduce UBI to a complete lack of free market, to a place where new construction is illegal, then it won’t help. Unless there are vacant homes around, in which case there are still some market forces at work and it will help.
