The bottom of the market is exactly where those depending on basic income reside.

A "move towards cheaper housing" by others would be competing against basic income dependents within this market segment.

This is what I meant by within some defined boundary. Here, its the lower end housing market.

Right, but it wouldn't happen in a geographically constrained area and location is the factor that really drives crazy housing prices.
