because the price of any good or service that profits rent seekers will be inflated almost instantly to maintain differentials.

Which is why I'd prefer to see UBH (Universal Basic Housing).

Universal Basic Housing just sounds like ghettos with extra steps.

So don't build ghettos. A modest proposal: make every builder donate a proportion of the flats/houses they build to local government, but decide which ones are to be donated by random lot after building work is complete.
