I don’t know how this answers the question, though.

I’m a landlord in city 1, UBI there is 100/mo. I jack my rental prices by 50.

I’m a landlord in city 2, UBI there is 200/mo. I jack my rental prices by 100.

City 1 responds by raising UBI to 200. Landlords follow suit. City 2 to 300. Landlords to 250.

OP is suggesting that capitalist class just says “uwu, for me?~~~ 👉😍👈”, regardless of the amount or location. OP is suggesting that in practice this is just another slice of pie to be extracted by the capital holders.

I don’t have a fucking clue if it’s true, but I don’t think this response addresses the question asked.
