The movie is about how a person grows up within a place and forms affection with that and owns it irrespective of how big or small it is. The scene at which he tells her daughter that they will move to New York and had an interview. The way Ben Affleck describes the way of living in New York looks like he is affectionate towards New York which is not wrong as everyone gets affectionate to that one place in their life more than any other place.
