I don't feel the tweak is hitting the crux of the issue. Perhaps it's still a result of terminology though. I'm confused, so let me try to play it back...
The tweaked problem statement sounds like: 4) LoCo teams (that are regional or national) aren't serving the communities (that are truly local) within their boundaries to the extent that they need to be supported. As a result, local teams (that are truly local) are rare. Is this true?
