TERRY CHEAIt's one of the many beautiful stretches of the California coastline. Now there's a fight in Carmel-by-the Sea over street addresses.No one in this wealthy California community known for its white-sand beaches and storybook charm has a street address. But unlike the houses in Carmel-By-The-Sea, those days may soon be numbered.
But street addresses may finally be coming to this coastal city of 3,300 residents, about 120 miles south of San Francisco. In July, the city council voted 3-2 to move forward with a plan to issue street numbers. Kullas said her husband's $13,000 medication never arrived, and having it delivered to the post office won't work because it requires refrigeration. It was a struggle to get water, electricity and cable service without a physical address.
City officials passed an ordinance requiring house numbering in 1926, but preservation-minded residents fought back. Three years later, the city passed an ordinance to keep Carmel's residential streets free of sidewalks, street lights, neon signs, high-rise buildings, mailboxes. It also prohibited street addresses.
