Stimulus the Chicago Way

Is this worth it?
$1 million to study the health benefits of living in "green" public housing. The study will look at 300 people living in the City of Chicago to determine whether living in ‘green’ public housing will lead to lower healthcare costs.
No mention of what the green public housing will cost us. More unaffordable affordable housing. (Then there's the collateral damage to us--chumps for the pols lining their pockets.) And what about the environment surrounding the housing? How healthy will that be. (Is this a plan to bring back Cabrini-Green?)
