A basic income guarantee is a system that regularly provides each citizen with a sum of money. Except for citizenship, a basic income is entirely unconditional.
A basic income guarantee would radically simplify the welfare state, and truly ensure that no one has to live in poverty. Its necessity will become increasingly obvious as more human labor is replaced by machines.

What is Basic Income?
"A Basic Income is an income unconditionally granted to all on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement" (Basic Income Earth Network, (BIEN)).

Beyond the perceptions that "everything is more expensive", the data says otherwise on many subjects.
But the same does not happen with houses, in the data, in what others say, in reality, it is something expensive.
And this is one of the main problems as you know, also considering that the population will stabilize, even decrease, that would mean that the price of houses will decrease.
But something else happens, what is the "problem" with the price of houses, why is it still very expensive?
