      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?

      Eh, it’s not the fact that it’s not on a grid layout. It’s the fact that it is mostly on a grid layout.

      Hünsborn looks lovely and organically developed in a hilly region.

      That area in Florida is flat as fuck and was probably some codger who wouldn’t sell until well after everything else was built up.
