>Usually the Ave/Street are mixed up
There should be a federal law against this kind of stupidity. It's unbelievable that many towns and cities actually thought it'd be a good idea to have two different streets with the exact same name, but one is an "Avenue" and one is a "street". I have a relative who lives on a "Second Ave" and has had all kinds of problems with mail because there's another address in that same small town with the same house number, but on "Second Street", and the person there is not cooperative when mis-addressed mail goes there.
- rtkwe 7y agoOk how do you solve the problem of annexing where two towns might have both been maintaining unique street names within their own systems but have overlap when they merge. Towns grow like that all the time.
- bradstewart 7y agoKeep the towns' original names in the addresses.
- magduf 7y agoSolution 1: keep the town names separate (this means separate post offices and zip codes). Solution 2: change the street names.
