Individual mobility can impose uncontrolled social losses on others. [causal]

Similarly, the decision to move from a community so that the father, for example, can take a better job may be entirely correct from the point of view of that family. But, because social capital consists of relations among persons, other persons may experience extensive losses by the severance of those relations, a severance over which they had no control.

Coleman, SocialCapitalCreation-1988, loc. 210
