Has anyone ever studied the impact on healthcare spending of public parks or other zones/projects/spaces that encourage walking or other physical activity? I'll bet it's nontrivial. I would always rather see the government spend $1 on getting people to walk more than $10 helping to pay for diabetes care.It would be nice to see other metrics like reduced overall cost of healthcare or increased rate of preventative treatments.
