They mention “the city”, I interpret it as the same situation as what used to be mine, owned my main residence in a city but not in THE city so prices are lower but most jobs are outside of the city I lived in, that allowed me to buy a second residence out in the woods for cheap, but I couldn’t live there full time (no water in winter, floor isn’t insulated).
A holiday home is a second home. If you don’t have a home already and that’s what you purchase, it’s not your holiday home, it’s your only home.

Then where do you live?
In the house I rent?
