I think maybe many places in Europe has addresses now. When I grew up, I grew up on a gravel road not very far from a capital city.
That road did maybe have a name at that time. I don't know. But our house had a name. So we wrote our addresses like this:
My Name
Our house name
Zip Code Region name
Then some years later EU forced us to get an address, so the gravel road became a street (according to the name) with numbers that are totally messed up and make no sense since the houses are so spread out. But I guess it somehow made something better?
I've tried to map up the house numbers on OpenStreetMap but I honestly don't know more houses than the one I grew up in and the closest neighbor.
This is like 15-20 years ago that this change happened. But if I want to be retro, I can still send snailmail to the house name. The postalservice manage to sort that out.
