Yeah, that's where the confusion came from.

If you live on the eastern edge of Forest Lawn, you can say both, "I live in an inner city community" and "I live close to Stoney Trail", and both are factual statements.

However, taken together, people would infer that you're making the combined statement of "Stoney Trail is close to the inner city", which is not an accurate statement.

This is a case where something was inferred by the reader that was not necessarily meant to be implied by the writer.
