The Basic Income article: "how to tackle the chronic British problem with housing benefit when we simply do not have sufficient houses"

If the basic income was based on where the cost of living in the country is high, it'd result in more disposable income being spent where the cost of living is low. Meaning it'd give a boost to the economies of the more depressed areas of the country. So rents and house prices would probably rise, providing an incentive to build more housing in those areas.

Once again though, nothing was said about what should happen to the minimum wage.
