I don't see this _fundamentally_ changing when robots do all the work, it will simply be a case that the individual labour value that most of us relied on will become less valuable and you will instead need to own a business or be a landlord if you want more.
Yes the percentage of people on welfare or UBI-only will increase, and those people will be vulnerable to the generosity of the state, who will certainly not be giving the big houses away.
On the other hand, imagine the average life potential when robots do everything:
- Even poorer neighbourhoods can be kept relatively clean and maintained
- Building materials and methods no longer revolve around limited human builders
- Manufacturing optimised for scale can now be optimised for personal requirements
- Home grown food, healthier food thats still convenient, no commuting etc
I believe humans should spend their lives with friends and family, improving their home and community, working on projects that fulfil them, raising their kids etc. This world we have built has become a corporate nightmare dystopia where we live to work.
