A basic income would allow all kind of activities outside of the capitalist economy, especially when there is space for it:
»So there’s a kind of complementary idea to unconditional basic income, which could be called unconditional basic space, which says that cities and communities should provide, as a universal affordance, a space for self-organized activity to take place.
And there’s all sorts of ways this can be done in a way that is pretty inexpensive, but provides for this collective capacity then for people to take advantage, through collective action, of their UBI to organize themselves into new ways of doing things.
One could imagine a new type of maker space, in which advanced technologies of various sorts that are programmable and flexible, even for manufacturing, could be housed in large warehouses, in which worker cooperatives could engage in forms of leasing those means of production from municipalities. «
