That's not a feasible solution. That's, frankly, callus to believe people can just uproot their lives.

On the anecdotal other hand, I've moved eighteen times in my life. Some of us not only don't mind, but given the opportunity, enjoy new places and new situations.

Did each of those moves include raiding the dumpsters for boxes? Enlisting others to help pack and move? And taking a year of savings to cover a deposit?

But you also appear to have had the means to do so easily (or you wouldn't have moved 18 times) without UBI.
