I'm going to disagree that "the world is way better". Don't get me wrong, there's been progress, but there's also a lot of ways it's objectively worse. + Significantly more income inequality than 20+ year

It all depends how the leases are written and who's responsible for the solar panels. Since the panels could potentially be the landlord's, warehouse tenant's, or a third party roof tenant's, it could be written up in a

The replies here are close, but not exactly right. Zip codes largely map to individual post offices. Once mail gets to the correct post office, then it will get sorted into routes for delivery. The reason why the distinction of post offic

Not only are their PO Box only zip codes, but there are also zip codes that are associated with various business and government entities. In those cases the USPS literally doesn't care what you put for the address bc they will hand ov

This is true. As others have pointed out, all PO Boxes can be appended to a 5 digit zip to get to the box (e.g. ZIP-BOX#) No city or state should be needed (zip covers that), nor name (not needed for mail in general, but might cause other
