If housing is built on a wetland, what may be its major opportunity cost?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Loss of flood-control and biodiversity services

Converting a wetland to housing may provide buildings and land value, but it sacrifices services that the wetland would otherwise supply. Wetlands can store excess water, reduce flood peaks, support species and improve water quality. These forgone benefits are the relevant opportunity cost. The colour, height or road width may matter for planning, but they do not express the ecological alternative being lost.
