Id recommend, in the future, googling some basic stuff before making a bunch of assertions about common knowledge about how a city works before saying stuff like
Cause you instantly out yourself as chronically online and out of touch with reality.
I dont know how to break it to you, but you literally just described the basic premise of what a city is, and in your prior post you literally described the basic premise of how a warehouse works, and the basic premise of mail, following up with postulating about how it sounds "dystopian" and "insane" and whatnot.
Mate you are describing basic infrastructure that is part of modern life, you have described problems that were solved like a hundred plus years ago as "insane" solutions that you must actively engage with daily if you are a grown ass functional adult.
"A system where thousands of people deliver parcels across a giant infrastructured network, right to peoples doorstep? Poppycock, how could anyone ever accomplish such a thing, why first you would need to have every single house assigned its own unique identifying number, and then you'd have to give that number to the other person, and then they'd have to use this third party network their parcel, which would then require to be handed off across multiple nodes of delivery to finally arrive at the other person's doorstep. The infrastructure and effort would be insane, no one could achieve that"
Bitch thats fucking mail
