Addresses are hard. Off the top of my head: I live in Germany. Germany has states, but they are not part of postal addresses. A lot of US sites keep insisting on entering a state wven though that is wrong. There are tiny villages without street names. The name of the village substitutes for the street name. Maybe there are single house settlements with house numbers - I am not sure.
And then there is Mannheim, a city with no street names. This was originally a planned city where the city center has rectangular blocks numbered in a letter-number scheme. So there is e.g. a block L5. This refers to one side of the 4 adjacent streets. The other side of these streets is addreseed with L3, L5, etc... what his means is that you have addresss like O7 6 - a single letter and two numbers in a row. I bet that a lot if input validators for addresses trip over something like that.
