This kind of stuff is all over the budget. If they would cut a lot of this nonsense out, the deficit wouldn't be so large.

Not to mention that $1,200 does not go into $500,000 evenly. So does one person get shafted?

Have they honestly looked around? There is very little green space within the confines of D.C. Most of the residents there don't have a yard in which to plant a tree. In some of the neighborhoods there, rain barrels would just be used for target practice. no.gif The vast majority of the grassy areas belong to the US Government anyway.
