Tragedy of the commons is when a shared resource is rationally used by the individual, but harms the whole.

You can be trapped in sub-optimal situation because it's a local maxima; not because of tragedy of commons, which is something different.

Society can be trapped in local maxima and that would be because of tragedy of commons, and individuals can be trapped in local maxima but that's distinct from tragedy of commons.
