I think under a UBI scenario, people should get to pick the city they want to reside in, then get assigned a public housing unit(s) for their immediate family. They can also be provided free public transport, and a basic UBI vehicle with free fuel.
Ideally, people would have a bedrock of UBI services to rely upon for their wellbeing, and money is turned into something solely used for lifestyle upgrades: Buying a house of the quality, size, and location you want, a fancier non-UBI car, brand-name food or supplies, private school, ect.
Do people get to choose where they live in this scenario, or do we just allocate housing based on where’s currently unoccupied?
People don’t really get to choose where they live now. If you mean choosing from a list of vacancies, then sure, I don’t see why not.
