It's easy to adopt, and easy to deploy. A paint crew would just have to go out and paint on the side of a shack the exact location according to this system.
That's not easy. And shacks move, all the time. They aren't solid structures.
Fine... paint on the ground. IDK how exactly to explain in to you in a way that the specific ground address for those 3 meters isn't moving.
Who cares what is on that ground. You're in ginger.dead.garlic at the moment. Oh now you're in fried.bull.balls. Oh now you're testing.my.patience

On dirt? You are the one pointing out that there is nothing there. This makes no sense. If you can't have addresses, how are you going to have some reliable signage system covering all this space? For that effort, they could make roads!

No one is testing your patience. Why are you so determined to have this be a sensible system when you know of no use case for it? What has made you passionate about something so useless to you and anyone you can think of?

There is another problem... how do you GET your three words? I think that you have to buy them. There is no obvious lookup system.

That was a quip about a possible location in the world based on the 3 word address system.

Here is the three words for MangoCon...
mercy.sentences.decks
Not exactly easy to use. And how can someone look that up?
-
I did a Google lookup, doesn't work. GPS and addresses take you right to info that you need. Three words do not.
-
If you use the three word system and put it into their own maps, it suggests other locations with similar names. Very confusing and it shows how insanely easy it is to get it wrong but not having the words absolutely exact. Make a singular plural or ad an "ing" to a word and you are somewhere totally different.

Here is an actual shanty town... where those kids were.
liner.approvals.minerals

It's hard to tell from the sat view, but under the trees on the south side of the road hundreds of people live. You can't see their structures from the view. Likely they move around based on the harvest season, too.

@scottalanmiller really you work in many gutter cities around the world?
C'mon, you know that I do.
I'm not talking Rochester.
I'm talking places similar to this (not sure what this exact location is though)

Rio De Janeiro IIRC. I've seen that picture or one like it in many a new s article. There is actually some structure to that from what I've read but nothing like a Boston, Rochester, or NYC.

Sounds terrible, there no relation to things. Move 3 meters and youre listed as something unrelated to where you just were.
blue.crap.done
move 3 meters
flan.flap.dumbJust use GPS, Lat and Long, problem solved forever, everywhere. Also more accurate.
