Question

Which of the following represents a tragedy of the commons? Plastic trash in the neighborhood park Two hospitals for the town's residents Leaves piled in a person's backyard Plenty of food at a local market

In the cases exposed, maybe two hospitals for the town's residents, because hospitals should be for those in need, and even though it would represent some gain for the residents, it would represent a risk for anybody nearby who needs a hospital
