I would rather see socialized housing, food, and (better) medical coverage than UBI. UBI could (maybe) cause the prices of essentials like housing to increase.
Thinking about it, UBI will drive the prices of housing down because people don’t have to live where work is available. Companies have to offer cheap housing or people will live elsewhere.

This is a possibility, but I don’t claim to be good enough at macro economics to be able to predict whether this will be the outcome or not.
A surplus in the housing market is needed.
There is, but corporations and Airbnb who hoard resources seem to too often elude in these discussions.
