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.
