This is exactly why it won't work, according to the UBI "vision" that is usually promoted. There is no way that people who think UBI is a good idea, would also allow the recipients to blow their UBI on dumb stuff and end up on the street. In practice, it would just be a re-branding of the existing system of benefits, with a few more hangers-on.
