If people had UBI they would be able to spend that money moving if they wanted to, and they'd have money to travel and visit family further away.

Even if the cost of moving/visiting family were offset by the rent savings - which very possibly would not be - it would kind of defeat the purpose of the UBI if people had to spend it on mitigating the consequences of people taking advantage of them receiving UBI
