Public Park Location Decision
A city government is deciding between two potential locations for a new public park. One location is in a high-income neighborhood where residents have actively lobbied the city council. The other is in a lower-income, more densely populated area that currently has no green space. Briefly explain why this decision-making process is an example of a political allocation of resources, rather than a market-based one.
