Scenario

When community projects become battlegrounds for deeper tensions

Our community garden committee can't agree on whether to allow people to grow whatever they want or stick to native plants, and it's turned into this proxy war about newcomers versus longtime residents that nobody wants to acknowledge directly. Every meeting gets more tense and nothing gets decided.
