What? Properly thought out city grids are amazing. Take an address 1234 5th street sw. The address is in the southwest quadrant, five streets west and twelve avenues south from city center. It isn’t perfect but it’s way easier than the town I moved to where George street turns into Jefferson and suddenly George street reappears as a completely different road.
Could be worse. In the southern US, lots of streets are named “Lee” or “Jackson”. Sometimes, multiples of each in the same town. I’d take “intersection of 13rd and 11st” any day over that.
There was a time when taxi drivers knew all the streets of their city by heart.
And I’m not talking about silly US style names like 1st street and 2nd avenue here.

Ten third and ten first? Am I having a stronk?
Why that’s the the intersection of thirteenrd and elevenist, of course.
