Currently landlords charges $15k a year for a property
LVT applies a $10k a year tax on a property
UBI gives everyone $2k a year extra
Landlord can increase rent by $2k a year to $17k, but not by $10k a year
Only way landlord can get back to $10k is to increase density, which increases supply, which introduces price pressure
From a moral point of view it gives every citizen an equal share in the country's land. If they use more than their fair share (a 0.5 acre lot in Manhattan), they pay more. If they use less (a 0.5 acre lot in Minnesota) they pay less.
That dividend could be distributed as increased public services, or lower taxes, or just as a dividend.
