Grids are great. But just think of systems like Venice, where you get a building number + district for an address. No street names tied to the buildings at all.

- nkrisc 4y agoThat sounds... difficult. I lived in Costa Rica for a brief while and outside of San Jose or town centers most addresses were something like "100 meters east of the statue of the Virgin Mary on calle uno" so at least there were some directions attached. Assuming you knew where the statue of the Virgin Mary was in whatever town, and which way North was.
