I have two words: Job Guarantee.
Predictions for Universal Basic Income: 1. Will be used as an excuse to cut disability/need based programs. 2. Slow rollout, with majority white areas first. 3. Rent will raise proportionally. 4. Overall it will transfer wealth to white, able bodied property owners. 5. Cancelled.

UBI by itself is not a solution. It needs to be paid for with Land Value Taxes to ensure that the rentiers don't simply suck up all the increased cash. (In fact, funding one with the other is an excellent way for the community to fund itself fairly).
