I don’t understand why the post office needs to deliver to each residence address. Delivery to a neighborhood dropoff should suffice, with residents going there to pick up their mail. This can save a lot of money. If a dropoff point is within six to ten blocks, that is walkable. For those who argue on behalf of handicapped or others stuck in a residence, same rules apply as to how they obtain food and other goods via secondary help.

I also agree that the business model should change, charge more for expensive delivery destinations. And charge more for junk mail; I hate the stuff.

We have some property in rural WV, about an hour south of Parkersburg. What you described is already SOP. USPS delivers to a single point where residents have to install their own mailboxes miles away from their property.

Great idea - No different than having one central postal pickup and drop off area at apartments.
