The mayor of New York City would like to build a new facility for public drug treatment. The members of the committee in charge of the project have developed four factors of importance based on their primary concern (and given a weight of 5). The First factor is the capacity to accept a large number of patients; second, The annual lease; third, the confidentiality for patients; and the fourth the accessibility for healthcare workers.
