I would add to the other comment that there are plenty of ways this doesn't improve your life in San Jose. But the Vox article points out those 70K people who live in a slum of Rio do have the benefit of a working system.
- x1798DE 10y agoI feel like it could definitely be made more user-friendly, though. Like instead of a random assortment of 3-word combinations, is there no way to assign them in an ordered fashion, so that "hill.stevedore.borg" is west of "hall.stevedore.bar". Or use a larger grid with an inset numeric system, like instead of blocking in 3 square meter chunks, use 30 square meter chunks with a 2-digit number next to it, like "hambone.impish.doorframe-3,3". I kinda feel like any arbitrarily-ordered locational identifier will always feel clunky compared to an ordered grid system.
