I care about my backyard, yes.

Muricans not only believe they are the centre of the geographical world, but also the internet. w ow.

This has nothing to do with thinking I'm at the center of the world. That's particularly uncharitable interpretation of my disposition, here.

by saying "in this country", you are expressing exactly what you are denying.

Yes, I have a particular interest in land use policy in the United States and how it's contributed to an affordability crisis. I have spoken extensively on this topic.

There are parts of the world that have a much better and sane approach to land use and housing policy. So I don't see why I must be forced to speak in general terms to fend off your accusations of Americentrism.

You miss the point completely. By starting a thread with "in this country", you assume everyone lives in the same country as you. You assume your audience. I have neither the time nor the interest to explain this to you any further than I already have. Your message I agree with. The way you express it, is what I have addressed.

I don't assume that, at all. I maybe assume that people understand where I live. To the extent you do not care about US domestic issues, I suggest you proceed to ignore me on this point. Or entirely on all points.

Many people who speak the imperial and colonial language live all over the world.
