City Hall's jobs solution for Toronto? Become an artist!

A day or so after the Globe and Mail released a poll stating that Torontonians are more concerned with the job market than cutting taxes ( http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/torontonians-put-economy-ahead-of-cutting-taxes-poll/article1687010/) Paula Fletcher got her plan approved to bring jobs to the Torontonian masses: subsidized housing and commercial spaces for artists.  $2.2 million is being invested into this waste of a project.  Was this really a priority to ram through on the last council meeting before elections?  Do these incumbents have a political death wish?
