Who gets to live in NYC, or who gets the beach houses if everyone has the same income levels?

Nobody said anything about everyone having the same income levels, but clearly if most people are unemployed because of automation but we also have more efficient production chains than ever because of that same automation, some kind of basic support system for people who are no longer needed as workers is necessary and viable.

In an ideal world, there needs to be legislation that if human jobs are replaced by AI, the companies doing the replacing will need to pay into a UBI fund according to their profits.

We don't live in an ideal world though, so good luck with that.

UBI will not help anything. as soon as you set a baseline amount, it can be circumvented. we just need to provide everyone with a simple place to live, even a room, food and medical attention when necessary. everything else you'd have to work for.
