- thaumasiotes 2y agoThere would be beggars. It's less obvious that there would be homeless, assuming you exclude the Amorites, but it's possible. But their numbers would be low. The number of homeless and beggars you get is a function of how much support exists for a homeless / beggar lifestyle. Establishing institutions to help them creates them in large numbers.
