No one in this California town known for its white-sand beaches and storybook charm has a street address. But unlike the houses in Carmel-By-The-Sea, those days may soon be numbered. The city council voted to issue street numbers. (AP Video/Terry Chea) Read more here: apne.ws/OppuCD5

That last guy, talking about not “IF I have a heart attack” but “WHEN I have a heart attack.” Also, yeah, those are some valid reasons to have street numbers.

How does 911 even know what house to go?

To help people understand: If I recall, you have to tell people that you are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th house NW, NE, SW or SE of the intersection of X Street and X Street. Basically, you are always counting houses from where 2 streets in Carmel intersect.

Rich people like to see each other so that way they can compare notes. 😊

They need a street address for things. I had a street address that was a box number and had a lot of problems. The address was attached to a physical location, and i had problems.

So directing someone is like; when you reach that apartment house with nice green rooftop drive straight ahead, you will find an anthill turn left then you will see that mango tree then the second house with a red gate. 😂😮😢😅 Like in some parts where i live. Uganda 🇺🇬

Some things should be left alone.

But how do they get their non-USPS packages, since you cannot get the post office to accept UPS and Amazon? How does a delivery find the house? Are they all named? I'm so confused...
