The opposition between "this" community and the larger one is a false one.
Any decision which is a detriment to your community is a detriment to the
larger community because you are a part of the larger community. And the
reverse.

My first reaction is that the swing set decision (as presented) is reduced
to too few factors. If the options have been fully explored there will be
more than two options or variables for the decision.
