Talk about moving the goalposts. People's appetites are not literally insatiable; it's certainly possible to make sure everyone is well fed. Making sure everyone has a roof overhead is a doable goal, and Canada seems to be making good progress on it. [1]

It's true that no amount of money will let everyone have a house in San Francisco, so for real estate in particular, inflation is a big problem. But there are other places to live, and on the margin, UBI will make it more feasible to move to cheaper places instead of where the most jobs are. (Social security is why there are so many senior citizens in Florida.)
