When you talk about Mt. P, you have to take off your soccer hat and put on your politician hat, you have to stand in their shoes. Yes, players are leaving. But players have always left to go play for other clubs. People have always, and still do, have choices. You can't stop that. But, if the town were to agree to join Bridge (assuming SCYSA allows it), then elected officials are throwing the door open and officially encouraging people to NOT participate in the city's soccer program. That's a big difference.
