A town must comply with state regulations to construct a new recycling facility. If this facility is built within the town limits, it will inconvenience many more residents than if it is built on undeveloped land outside the town. However, despite the availability of the undeveloped land, the facility should be constructed within the town limits due to the greater economic advantages it would bring to the town in terms of job creation. Which one of the following, if true, most undermines the argument above?
