Don't know about disability.

I would answer "yes" to your second paragraph, excepting possibly residents of Hawaii.

Regarding your third paragraph, we (society) already do tell a segment of the population "tough, you get to live on the street". Why is it so hard to believe society would suddenly find it unpalatable in this case? Basic income is nice, though, because it provides a path out of homelessness, and that's something that's often not present.

I don't think we tell people "tough" right now. Look at the money that SF spends on the homeless. It's over $100M/yr.
