@overholt No one in that area is getting their Amazon packages...

@overholt I was about to send you a picture of the even more confusing street names we have here, but I can't because Google Maps literally can't cope with it and has just folded them all into one name.

@overholt a friend pointed out to me recently that at one of the entrances to South Bay, there is a 4-way intersection where 3 of the directions are Boston St.

@overholt I don’t get why “Malvern Terrace” isn’t “Hancock Terrace”.

[jimfl@hachyderm.io]

@overholt both the SW and SE corners of Hancock and Hancock are unambiguous, but the NW and NE corners are not

I bet that neighbors have an informal coöperative where they make sure packages get the last last mile. The Hancock Handoff

@overholt how are you package deliveries though

[overholt@glammr.us]

@Kevin This isn't my actual neighborhood, I've just seen this driving through. But bad, if I had to guess.

[vathpela@infosec.exchange]

@Kevin @overholt my experience in the neighborhood where everything is named "garden" is that local delivery drivers sometimes go to the wrong street, but FedEx has more trouble not knowing that "4" and "5" are different numbers and are on opposite sides of the road.

@vathpela @overholt numeracy really has taken a dive in this country

[vathpela@infosec.exchange]

@Kevin @overholt tbh it might just as well be about not understanding how addresses are formatted... not a /lot/ better.

@overholt@glammr.us is this Calgary? Every neighbourhood there has streets named like that
