Which of the following decisions would entail the greater opportunity cost: allocating a square block in the heart of New York City for a surface lot or allocating a square block at the edge of a typical suburb for such a lot?

New York City $-$ there is greater demand for parking in the city.

New York City $-$ land is scarce in the city; this lot could be used for many other types of "revenue$-$generating" buildings $($i$.$e$.,$ an apartment building department store$).$

Suburbs $-$ there is greater demand for parking in the suburbs.

Suburbs $-$ land is more abundant in the suburbs; it would be better to use this land for parking rather than for a park or other facility.
