In the USA, addresses are somewhat more regular, due to the US Post Office and The Bell System both working on making addresses more consistent. For instance, most "burgh towns had their names changed to "burg. But of course "Pittsburgh" is an exception. The old Bell Operating Companies (Pacific Bell, Mountain States Bell, etc) actually had "address bureaus" that worked with cities they serviced. Since The Bell System broke up over 40 years ago, and the US Postal Service has lost a lot of influence, I wonder if addressing the US is getting more irregular. Folklore has it that your ZIP code can effect your car insurance rates. If addresses become less regular, how does that change how voting precincts, car insurance, and other location-based parts of life get apportioned and zoned?
