Personal opinion related to "Housing, Health, and Happiness" article

-
I recommend the article "Housing, Health, and Happiness" because it talks about our objective, and how a real change in this situation can affect in different manners the lifestyle of the Mexican citizens. 

As Cattaneo (2009) mention "We investigate the impact of a large-scale Mexican program to replace dirt  floors with cement floors on child health and adult happiness... we find signficant improvements in adult welfare measured by increased satisfaction with their housing and quality of life" 

The article provides the example of data that these researchers used and how they converted it into information and eventually into knowledge. The article has a lot of useful information about the effects of a good place to live.
