The coastal town of Carmel-by-the-Sea in California has more than 3,000 people, but up until now, it went more than 100 years without using house numbers or street addresses. The only location that had an actual address was the post office itself.
Instead, people named their houses, and people in the town would learn the names to orient themselves. (The initial inhabitants were mostly artists.)
For mail, they’d all just pick it up at the post office, and for timely at-home deliveries, they’d use a complicated system where they’d count properties from an intersection. For example, “Monte Verde 4SW of 8th,” translates to a building on the west side of Monte Verde, four properties south of the 8th intersection.
But the town has finally voted to change that.
