It is very difficult to make work while basic shelter is open to predators. Control housing costs, then many many other aspects fall into place....and so far none of the govs have the courage to do so and in many areas only a crash can do it.
Obama had a chance to do it by giving the banks 10 cents on the dollar for their bad loans and creating a stock of social housing instead of the foreclosure nightmare plus bank bailout path he chose.
Without shelter control ....there is no baseline that can support the poor in the cities and outside cities there are few jobs to augment the basic wage.
The other aspect is there is no clawback so that the basic income is a support floor and anything you make above that improves your income directly as opposed to current programs that clasw back income earned and are disincentives.
