They also have a choice in picking up a house in a "less desirable" residential district. If they care about having a house, that badly, they would either pick up a Goblet house or move to a world that has housing available.
Edit: misread the initial quote. Still, I would assume that is just misspoken, about real life just moving somewhere else. Anyway, in game - they are right.
Human desires work exactly the same inside and outside of video games; stuff in games generally feels less important to us than real life stuff, but they're all being processed in the same system in our grey matter. If I saved up for years and only have enough gil to buy Glam A or Glam B, it's possible to want them both almost equally, and choosing one over the other doesn't demonstrate that I'm "not really that interested" in the other. To assume otherwise is to operate in bad faith, because that's simply not how making hard choices works.
