The tiny town of Nemo has three neighborhoods located on a straight line: Neighborhood 1, Neighborhood 2, and Neighborhood 3, with Neighborhood 2 located equidistant between Neighborhood 1 and Neighborhood 3. There is one daycare center, located on Neighborhood 1. There are 10 families residing in each neighborhood, and each family has one child. Each family is willing to pay $70/day for daycare, and prefers daycare closest to its own neighborhood (though at current distances, families will purchase daycare services even if it’s two neighborhoods away). Families are indifferent between any two daycares in the same neighborhood. Suppose that daycare costs $30/day per child to provide. A new daycare center is thinking of opening in Nemo. If both daycares will keep their price at $70/day, which neighborhood should the new daycare open in?
