May I ask a question about German addresses? Here, they go up and up as you move out from the center of town - we have a zero/zero, so to speak, at one corner, and if you live at 100 N, you are one block north of center. So if you are 100 blocks north of center you live at 10000. I lived at 1500 E on 15th St I'd be 15 blocks away in two directions from that central point.
Our German addresses are always like 6, never a big number. How?
I have marked all homes that belong to one street in one color. The address is Town, Road, House number. So, Hünsborn, Steimelstraße 32, for example.
But are none of the streets long enough to end up with a 1867, or whatever?
Most American cities use a distance or block system.
Most European cities use the odd/even system. Each plot increase by two on either side, so one side of the road has 1,3,5... and the other has 2,4,6...
If a plot is later subdivided or more houses are built on a plot, its new addresses will get post-fixed letters a,b,c,d...
Canada works this way too, interestingly enough.
The town where I work doesn't have blocks, it's just a fucking mess. Which is annoying on account of I deliver mail and knowing where I am is important.
