...is smack on the corner of two streets, what would your address be? To make it more lucid

One is Main Street, the other is Shuttlecock Way. The house is marked with a *. For all intents and purposes, let's say the door to the house faces the corner of the two streets.

How is the street for the house's address decided? Again, for the sake of discussion, the house is perfectly and symmetrically divided with half of it on Shuttlecock Way and half of it on Main Street.

For the sake of discussion, all the city planners on the day of that decision were blind drunk.

I swear my friend's house is set up in that exact configuration on the corner of two streets. They differ only in the ending (lane vs. street). His address ends in "lane".

It would be main street ? ..I might be confused. where ever the front of the house is facing that will be its street.

If the mailbox was on the side of the street, I'd go with what ever one it was on.

The mailbox is symmetrically and perfectly halfway between each "zone" of the street so to speak.

when the house was built, it would be apart of the street that the rest of the set of houses i was built with were built on.

I thought it was whichever street the door faced.

A blind drunk one.

Are there any architects or city planners on BF2s?

You're on the street that the house you are joined onto is called.

Whatever is most logical for the city planners. I don't think there is a real right or wrong in this case because addres doesn't change the location or appearance of the house. But for the sake of discussion I think it would be addressed to whatever street was designed and filled in first. For example if the house layout (where each house is going to go on what plot of land next to the street) for mainstreet was created before the layout for Shuttlecock, then the house would be addressed as Mainstreet because it's part of the already existing numbering sequence.

Never thought I'd put this much thought into a random question like this :S.
