I suspect you’re just deflecting now as that’s not what your comment communicated or suggested. You said they’re making their decision to stay in Portland because they want to live somewhere fun, something that isn’t even suggested in the article.
When you make a statement with no evidence to support it, it’s often referred to as “making shit up”. If you can cite a reference in the article that explicitly states they they’re staying in Portland because they want fun, I’ll eat my words and issue a public apology.
No, I said I’m glad I don’t need the “fun” that people keep telling me is why people choose to live in cities. But if you want a citation, here’s a quote from the article:
“We actually tried uprooting the kids to a more affordable town and found ourselves less happy in the end,” Laura said.
So maybe not “fun” but definitely happiness, which is fun adjacent.
