The overarching idea Gladwell is establishing in his introduction to the book (Outliers: The story of Success) is that community can make a great impact on a person’s life.

The story is about the town of Roseto, Pennsylvania. Doctors amazed with the low occurrence of heart disease in their community. The inhabitants lived long lives instead of their obesity. The doctors performed many tests, but couldn’t figure out what is the reason.

When they looked at the social structure of Roseto, they see many of the residents would stop to chat with neighbors. It seems that it was the sense of community and togetherness that made them live happy, long lives. So the community can make a great impact on a person’s life.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

c. Private ownership can give the incentive to the owner, to fulfill the wishes of others, and get the investment back, like a restaurant or school

Explanation:

Fulfilling the wishes of others tend to make it easier for the owners to resale the property (since that property will look a lot closer to the buyers' liking) . Fast re-sale of the property will also make it faster for the owner to get the investment back.

Sometimes, reselling the property is not the only method to recoup the investment. Transforming the property into other revenue generating establishment such as restaurant, car-wash, school, boutique, etc could also be an effective method to recoup the investment.
