Related to the cost of living factor: what about research on the interplay between guaranteed income and rents?  I get the impression that rents will increase to take up most of the guaranteed amount, based on how people allocate for living vs. discretionary expenses, but would like to see something rigorous.<p>Example of the dynamic: Winston Churchill liked to give a story [1] about do-gooders who saw that a bridge&#x27;s tolls were a burden on the poor, so they bought out the owner ... only to find that rents right afterward went up by the exact expense of crossing the bridge twice daily.<p>Considering the necessity of this crossing, that was <i>like</i> a sudden basic income of the cost of crossing the bridge, and got eaten up by rents.  But I&#x27;d like to see something more rigorous and what can be done about that phenomenon.<p>[1] ctrl-f for &quot;bridge&quot;: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.landvaluetax.org&#x2F;current-affairs-comment&#x2F;winston-churchill-said-it-all-better-then-we-can.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.landvaluetax.org&#x2F;current-affairs-comment&#x2F;winston-...</a>
