Imagine you are a well intentioned urban planner for a large city.

You have been asked by the city to choose a location for a housing project.

You chose:

Cheaper land at the outskirts of the city. You intend to provide schools, public transport, and other services.

You find that the land chosen is low lying and swampy. It requires more funding for strong foundations. You can choose to:

continue as planned

OR

file for more funds from the city
