regarding addresses of locations

"There are many, many situations in Massachusetts where these
(addressing) rules are not being followed. These situations are a
significant obstacle to implementing Next Generation 911 and to public
safety in general."

some of the fine points of 911 addressing

===================

afaik - there are 351 cities and towns in massachusetts - there are no
unincorporated areas (except for maybe 1 or 2 orphan offshore islands
that might actually belong to Spain or something crazy like that) -
each municipality has its own addressing scheme - the city of boston
addresses go back 100s of years and there are maybe 10 Main Streets in
Boston - but in general - odd numbers are on 1 side of the street -
even numbers are on the other side of the street - numbers raise
numerically / sequentially (they dont hop around too much in other
words)

it is very possible that 451 northborough street in southborough is
next door to 527 southborough street in northborough - but most people
realize that is what happens when you hit a municipal border in
Massachusetts - and most/all main streets have big signs at the
community borders
