> increases in general income levels being soaked up by real estate holders

More than 200 million Americans own their home. They are your real estate holders. So what if they absorb some of these increases?

If your concern is housing for those who don't own a home yet then say that, and the solution to that isn't not doing basic income, but to relax the obsolete local zoning laws that require e.g. 1 acre per home in rural area or "nothing higher than 30ft" in suburban areas, basically flat out banning any density increases.
