Countries, zips and cities

[David W. Fenton]

Also, there's this old saw that "society has ceased to exist in
New York City". In my few trips there, I always got the
opposite impression: people there are more in tune with each
other than any place I've been. Understood that they may not be
*friendly*.... but they're all on the same square and they all
understand each other.

That's the essence of it -- New Yorkers invest only as much effort
in getting along as is required by living cheek-by-jowl with
7,999,999 other people.

This is a feature, not a bug.

imagine the adjustments I had to make moving to Ohio! And even
after 12 years here I still have to say... "Oh, well, you know...
I come from New York..."!

I made the opposite move, growing up on a farm in South Central
Illinois, moving to Ohio (well, Cleveland, which is not exactly Ohio
the way Chicago is not exactly Illinois), then on to New York City.

I've now lived in NYC longer than I've lived anywhere else, and
never plan to leave the area (though I now live across the river in
Weehawken, NJ, with the best views of Manhattan anywhere other than
Brooklyn Heights and maybe Jersey City, and twice the space for half
the price).

My 85-unit NYC apartment building has about a dozen Zip+4 codes, so I would
guess most multi-tenant buildings have multiple zip+4 codes. I have a client
who used to do a lot of surface mailings from their database, and they
claimed that using zip+4 with postal barcodes improved delivery times by a
day or two.

I can see that because the mail would get delivered right to the mail
man without requiring any hand processing before that.
