Evaluating Funding Models for a Community Project
A residential community is considering two plans to fund a new shared garden.
- Plan A: A fundraising campaign where residents can voluntarily donate any amount they choose. The garden will only be built if the total donations meet the construction cost.
- Plan B: The residents' association will fund the garden's construction and ongoing maintenance by implementing a small, mandatory increase in the monthly association fees for all households.
Critically evaluate both plans. Which plan is more likely to ensure the garden is successfully created and maintained? Justify your conclusion by analyzing the incentives and likely behaviors of individual residents under each plan.
