When posting in Facebook how do I add my location by default?
When I create a new post in Facebook I have to manually add my street address. I'd like it to auto detect like Google Plus does. Is there a setting for this?

I think your best bet would be to report the bug on this page. Probably use the third option from the bottom called "I've set the privacy of some of my content to "Everyone", but it's not visible to everyone." If you don't have access to the setting and you know moving users out of the list and into a new one works, then that might be your best options rather than waiting.
BEFORE you post the status - that detail was left off the last answer. I think that will do the trick. If not, I'll correct this post.
Click on the little "x" next to the city name to remove the location tag and it won't be added next time you update till you specially add the location yourself.
After logout/login, the setting persists

There is no setting to currently do this. I would imagine that your hometown needs to be "realized" via search (https://www.facebook.com/search/results.php). So if it's not there you would not be able to detect in the profile settings.
Consider creating a new location (https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=175921872462772) then you should be able to use it as your hometown.
