5 months ago, Hannah moves into New Oaks Village to live with her sister. The residents of New Oaks pay a monthly payment to the village association for the maintenance of their village's sewer system. New Oaks often gets flooded especially during the rainy season. Nonetheless, Hannah does not split the monthly payment with her sister as Hannah is unemployed. Which of the following statements is true? Hannah is free riding since she will also benefit from the prevention of flood due to village's well-maintained drainage and sewer system. The village's sewer system is considered a private good. Because the sewer system provides service of good drainage to the residents of New Oaks, it cannot be classified to any type of good. This situation is a classic example of Tragedy of the commons. Hannah is not free riding because she is unemployed and cannot share with the monthly maintenance.
