Answer:

They are both emphasizing a single issue or feature in this decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marla is only emphasizing the feature of geographical location: she cares, above all, about her future home being in the city, and that is described as her only concern. As for McKenzie, she is only worried about their budgetary constraints: they cannot spend more than $200,000 on the home.

Fortunately for them, both single-issues are compatible with each other. There are many houses in the city that probably cost $200,000 or less.
