Where I grew up we had PO BOX as our address, not at end of street, but at the town's Post office. Drivers license had PO BOX because that is how you would get mailed citations or new license. I am familiar with the rental style POBOX you reference, but these were municipal govt post boxes.
Ironically they renumbered our streets after about 30 years so the address changed LOL
As far as policing, I'm in Canada so we had provincial police, and province Im in now and others use federal police, so the jurisdiction stuff didn't apply
Sure, whatever I'm saying here is never going to apply identically everywhere.
At the end of the day, we're talking about homeless people in Toronto, so it's not particularly helpful or applicable.
Right, agreed. My initial point was some cities create a street address to represent the homeless encampment (or homeless people), and the homeless number their tents. This was so that support systems or jobs that need something on a form for processing get satisfied, and homeless get mail if needed. I sure hope somebody comes up with a better method of the housing issues. Here in BC the cities have bought up old hotels and converted them to low barrier housing, but it doesn't address all their needs like mental health care, drug rehabilitation, etc
