A study has revealed that people on the waiting list for state houses have worse health than those already in them. So the researchers conclude we need more state housing.
I suppose it would be too politically incorrect to conduct a study which compared the health of people in state housing to that of people in private housing, controlling for income. But if they did and the second group had better health, then the researchers should logically conclude we need less state housing.

You say "people on the waiting list for state houses "
So they aren't state tenants yet (the vast majority anyway), and many of them never will be.
And as for it being politically incorrect to compare the health of state tenants to others... just such a study has been underway (focus on hospitalisations I believe) for the last few years.
The wgtn school of medicine site probably has some info.
