And that's fair. But experimentally I would like to see the effects measured for a whole town, a city, or even a county.

This was done, as the Mincome experiment, in Dauphin, Manitoba in the early 1970s.

Did all of the basic income funding come from the population of Dauphin though, or was it subsidized by a larger tax base like that of Manitoba or Canada? For a useful experiment to be conducted, seems that the program should be funded entirely from the population that receives the benefit.
