There are, after all, other productive uses that can be made of vanishing fiscal resources.” Option 1 about the diversion of scarce spaces, option 2 about the demolition of residential structures, and option 3 about the better use of funds for other purposes, are stated in the passage and they get eliminated. Option 4 which is about the influx of visitors is not mentioned as a burden on the host city. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
