Chicago to sell $1 lots of land

The below article indicates Chicago will be selling vacant lots of land for $1 each to those who qualify, such as living on the same block.  Granted, these lots are in some of the rougher areas of the city but I was curious if anyone has dealt with a similar scenario in the past and what sort of opportunity they saw and/or results achieved.

Empty lot in a war zone is probably worth less than $1.
