You don't have to have a job, you have to earn money. Those are two different things. Begging is a form of income. I think your view of "luxury" is somewhat different than most people. Most people in poverty live in cities with high cost of living. Relying on them to make the most of that money by moving out of cities isn't likely to happen. They could already do that today and don't.

They don't because they need to earn money, and to earn money you have to go where jobs are - cities. With basic income you wouldn't so people would be incentivised to move to lower cost areas.
