It's far too simplistic to say UBI would go to homeowners.

In a supply-constrained environment, it's true that a higher capacity to pay would lead to higher prices, but that's not some general truth. If it were, you could say the same thing about wage increases. Any policy goal seeking higher incomes would be useless: it will all just go to homeowners.

Why bother with public education? Sure, it will increase incomes, but it's all just going to go to homeowners.
