The reason that in some places the house numbers on the odd and
even side do not correspond is that it is really the lots that
are numbered, and they may not be of equal size. Multi-unit
buildings often have numbers like 35a, 35b etc. In the US lots
are usually of equal size in subdivisions. Also in many cities
street numbers are keyed to the cities lot numbers are keyed
to the street layout. Thus 6025 may mean 60th ave and 25th street.
Numbers often then have gaps in them.
