No, that is the definition given by wikipedia right in the first sentence, it is not a function of location.
You can come up with your own definition of what you consider local (neighbourhood, city, county, state, country?) or cherrypick a basket you want to use as a base (McD), but that simply reflects your biases.
That's nonsensical. You can trivially find examples of where the same goods cost different prices in different locations.
Here's a really simple example. $5.79 will buy you a McDonald's Sausage Egg McMuffin meal in Montgomery AL. The same menu item is $6.71 in Los Angeles CA.
The same money has less power to buy goods and services in Los Angeles than it does in Montgomery. You know this intuitively; the same way you know that a gallon of milk is more expensive in New York City than it is in Madison.
I don't know why you're tying yourself up in knots to come to the opposite conclusion.
