Space is already constrained by historical distributional of 'valuable' lands, and restrictions on new ones. There's nowhere left to go out and just settle that someone else doesn't already claim somehow. (Yes, if you go out of the solar system you might claim that... but that's literally how bad the issue is.)
The real solution is increasing supply. Yes, UBI will help individuals, but society must actively balance to ensure that there is enough supply in the markets to maintain liquidity. Otherwise (as we see with housing) flow seizes and prices dramatically rise.
Energy: It's getting cheaper and cheaper thanks to competing technologies. California's wholesale rate went negative (due to solar) for the first time ever in April. If you are unemployed and on UBI, you have more freedom to to take advantage of time-of-use rates. Or better yet, hook up some cheap solar panels and some lead-acid batteries and make your own energy.
Time: If you are unemployed and on UBI, you have more free time. If prices spike for food, then you can always grow your own. If prices spike for gasoline, then ride a bike.
Space: With UBI, you no longer need to cram into a handful of high-growth economic areas. You can move to cheaper areas, grow your own food, and ride a bike everywhere. People with a lot of free time, and not a lot of money, will be a lot more price sensitive than in our current environment (where time = money). If prices rise due to inflation, they will either do without, or find/create a substitute.
Distance is effort, both in energy and time.
