Homes in Carmel already have addresses, so they'll now be official in some way they weren't before? Here's a house on Zillow, with the house number clearly visible. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/26387-Isabella-Ave-Carmel-CA-93923/19332599_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/26387-Isabella-Ave-Carmel...

There is something fishy though. Searching for the address in Bing Maps shows the correct structure, but I can't seeem to generate a link with the address. The link is lat long. https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=36.54084%7E-121.930825&lvl=19.7 https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=36.54084%7E-121.930825&lvl=19.7 Open Street Maps address queries don't seem to work, and when I select that location on the map, the geocoded address is incorrect but close. https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?from=36.54084%2C-121.93083&to=#map=19/36.54030/-121.93113 https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?from=36.54084%2C-12... What Carmel needs are affordable addresses, but that's a different problem entirely.

Asking for affordable addresses in Carmel is like asking for affordable cars at a Maserati dealership. They just don't stock those there. Instead you need to drive to a Hyundai or used car dealership. If you want an affordable home you drive to Seaside or Salinas. I rented a room in Carmel for about the same price as a coworker rented a nice ranch house in Seaside.

  I wanted an affordable handheld supercomputer in the 1970s, and I finally got one! They are making new real estate, but it's not for sale yet. https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/aerial-view-isaac-hale-beach-park-westernmost-ocean-entry-overriding https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/aerial-view-isaac-hale-bea...

The article doesn’t even attempt to explain this, but this is talking about Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small part of the greater Carmel area. I’ve not seen any street addresses, just house names, in my few dozen trips where I have walked through Carmel-by-the-Sea.

  I neglected to check the boundary of Carmel-by-the-Sea, and you are correct, thanks! I happened to pick a nearby address outside the boundary. Here's a house in Carmel-by-the-Sea named "Carmel House" according to the placard on the dwelling. https://www.google.com/maps/@36.5481627,-121.9235433,3a,73y,83.2h,92.82t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sYv9ewWHH8aMoWsFD8l-gWg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu https://www.google.com/maps/@36.5481627,-121.9235433,3a,73y,... I feel bad for map developers. Searching Google Maps for Carmel House yields a house at 26177 Scenic Rd, not the house at the above link. Within Carmel-by-the-Sea, some addresses on Zillow are like "Lincoln 7sw 13th," but that address is not known to Google Maps. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Lincoln-7sw-13th-Carmel-By-The-Sea-CA-93921/344987138_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Lincoln-7sw-13th-Carmel-B... Certain addresses on Zillow appear to be in standard form, such as 225 The Crossroads Blvd, Carmel, CA 93923, but notice the URL isn't Carmel-by-the-Sea. EDIT: Nevermind, that address is clearly erroneous, the house is on Delores St. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/225-The-Crossroads-Blvd-Carmel-CA-93923/136735347_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/225-The-Crossroads-Blvd-C... Putting that address into Google Maps returns a location in The Crossroads Shopping Center, not the location in Zillow. Years ago, I had to routinely redo my searches for Carmel addresses, since Google Maps assumed I was referring Carmel Valley near San Diego, zip 92130, not Carmel-by-the-Sea. That changed at some point; Carmel now "redirects" to Carmel-by-the-Sea. There is also a Carmel Valley zip 93924, east of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
